To check this, visit the Store. Go To **Dashboard**, and under the **Manage Subscription**s, check if you see this. ![](https://nexterwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/nexter-blocks-pro-store-expired-and-active.jpg) Learn [How to Renew your license from here](https://nexterwp.com/docs/renew-nexter-pro-license/). ### Make sure Site and Home URL are Same Make sure your website WordPress Address (URL) and the Site Address (URL) are the same.  To check from the WordPress backend, go to **Settings** > **General**. ![wordpress address url site address url](https://nexterwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/wordpress-address-url-site-address-url.png) For example, if you installed and activated the plugin licence on a staging site and then you moved it to the production site, the homepage URL and Site URL could be different and this can cause the licence activation issue. ### Security Firewall Blocking There might be chances that your advanced Security firewall from a plugin or hosting is blocking access to our servers to verify the key. Please disable your Security firewall and try again. You can use the licence on local-host and staging sites unlimited times, regardless of the limited website plan. Staging sites will be considered only if they: - localhost - 10.0.0.0/8 - 172.16.0.0/12 - 192.168.0.0/16 - yourdomain.dev - yourdomain.local - dev.yourdomain.TLDs - staging.yourdomain.TLDs ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: What should I do if my Nexter Blocks Pro license activation fails?** A: If your Nexter Blocks Pro license activation fails, check if your license has expired. You can verify this by logging into the Posimyth Store and checking under Manage Subscriptions. If it has expired, you can learn how to renew your license [here](https://nexterwp.com/docs/renew-nexter-pro-license/). This is a common issue that can prevent updates and activation. **Q: Can I use Nexter Blocks Pro on a staging site?** A: Nexter Blocks Pro can be used on staging sites without limitations, as long as the staging site falls within specific IP ranges or uses designated local domains. This flexibility allows developers to test features before going live. Just ensure that the Site URL and WordPress Address are the same to avoid activation issues. **Q: What are the steps to activate my Nexter Blocks Pro license?** A: To activate your Nexter Blocks Pro license, log into your account on the Posimyth Store and copy your license key from the Dashboard. Then, in your WordPress backend, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, ensure both Nexter Blocks and Nexter Blocks Pro are activated, and go to Nexter > Activate PRO to paste your key and activate it. This process ensures you have access to all Pro features. **Q: What common issues might prevent Nexter Blocks Pro from activating?** A: Common issues that can prevent Nexter Blocks Pro from activating include an expired license, mismatched Site URL and WordPress Address, or a security firewall blocking access to the activation servers. To troubleshoot, check your license status in the Posimyth Store and ensure your URLs match in the WordPress settings. If a firewall is blocking access, temporarily disable it to try activating again. **Q: What happens if I install Nexter Blocks Pro without the free version?** A: Installing Nexter Blocks Pro without the free version will result in limited functionality. Both Nexter Blocks and Nexter Blocks Pro must be installed and activated to access all features. This requirement ensures that the Pro version builds on the foundation provided by the free version, allowing for a complete experience. **Q: What is the best way to install Nexter Blocks Pro after purchase?** A: The best way to install Nexter Blocks Pro is to first download it from the Posimyth Store after logging into your account. Then, in your WordPress Dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New Plugin > Upload Plugin, select the downloaded file, and click Install Now. This method ensures you are using the latest version, which is recommended for optimal performance.
