Unble to install a Wordfence License

I’m having the same problem.

Also.. if i try to add a new site from wordfence central, it says “license activated” but the license key it’s empty and on the site admin it keeps saying the license nees to be activated.

Hi @natasacy,

I have recently had to install new Wordfence licenses on some new domains and had no problems with the button taking me to my site and auto-installing the license.

If you attempt to install the license 24 hours after generating it, or are using a different browser to the one you requested it with, you will likely have issues automatically installing the Wordfence license key. Are you also having issues manually copy/pasting the whole key into the field inside Wordfence itself?

There’s a bit more information and a video guide on this page:?https://www.wordfence.com/help/api-key/#installing-your-free-license-key

Many thanks,
Peter.

Note: @mayaliny as the original issue in this topic doesn’t involve Central you may need to open your own topic if the problems persist as the solution is likely to be different. Our forum guidelines require each customer to open a topic of their own.

Hello,

I was trying to install a free license automatically for over 72 hours. The automatic procedure failed all the times. I never have had an issued license for the specific website before, it is completely new. For the first time I had to create an account in Wordfence, request manually a Free license and configure the license manually. This worked.

Thank you,

Natasa

@wfpeter besides the “central” part, the url that is called from plugin activation when it says “get a license” gives 404.. that is blocking us to install licenses the usual way.
I had installed a ton of them so something is broken, i think since last release.

That gives 404
