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 Pro Extension license activation fails?** A: If your Nexter Pro Extension license activation fails, check if your license has expired.
