To check this, visit the Store. Go to **Dashboard**, and under **Manage Subscriptions**, check if you see this. ![](https://nexterwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/nexter-blocks-pro-store-expired-and-active.jpg) [How to Renew Your Nexter Pro Licence](https://nexterwp.com/docs/renew-nexter-pro-license/). ### Make sure Site and Home URL are Same Make sure your 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 moved it to the production site, the WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) could differ and this can cause the licence activation issue. ### Security Firewall Blocking Your security firewall from a plugin or hosting may be blocking access to the servers used to verify the key. Disable your security firewall and try again. If you need to check your server configuration first, see [Hosting System Requirements for Nexter](/docs/hosting-system-requirements-for-nexter/) for the minimum requirements. You can use the licence on localhost 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
