Elementor Pro license key is invalid

The Elementor Pro plugin attempts to verify your license against the Elementor server. If the verification fails, the plugin marks the license as invalid.

The validation request is sent to my.elementor.com over HTTPS. A missing or malformed response triggers the error.

Typical triggers include an expired or revoked key, a typo when entering the key, a domain URL that does not match the stored license, outdated Elementor or Elementor Pro versions, a corrupted Pro zip file, server‑side blocks such as firewalls or missing cURL, caching layers that strip headers, multisite limits, or corrupted database entries for the license.

When the license is invalid, Pro widgets appear greyed out, the editor cannot drag them, and the front‑end may lose pop‑ups, forms, or theme‑builder sections. A red admin notice also appears.

Symptoms

Common Causes

Typo or wrong key
An extra space, missing character, or using a free‑edition key on Pro results in mismatch.
Domain URL mismatch
WordPress Address and Site Address differ from the domain stored in the license record.
Out‑of‑date plugins
Older Elementor or Elementor Pro versions cannot communicate with the current API.
Server connectivity block
Firewall, ModSecurity, or missing cURL prevents outbound HTTPS requests to Elementor’s server.
