I can not activate my CMS Pro license either. I’ve tried several times and it’s a no go.

Then you should definitely install the free update, even though it’s still in beta.

Yes, the whole thing may not be implemented perfectly, but the new beta is already on version 8, is extremely stable, and comes with lots of new features. So there’s really no need to worry — the update is definitely worth it.

And the best part is that it’s free as long as your current license is still active.

Installed the latest Beta and I’m now good with the license being accepted.
