 * Usually when this happens there is a problem while connecting to WPAdverts updates
   server via SSL connection, you can try switching to non-secure connection by 
   adding the code below in your theme functions.php file
 *     ```
       add_action( "plugins_loaded", "non_ssl_updates_url");
       function non_ssl_updates_url() {
           include_once ADVERTS_PATH . 'includes/class-updates-manager.php';
           Adverts_Updates_Manager::$url = "http://wpadverts.com/api";
       }
       ```
   
 * If this will not help please email me (via [https://wpadverts.com/contact/](https://wpadverts.com/contact/))
   your license code i will check it.

 * Ok, i am just checking my emails but i cannot seem to find a message from you,
   if you will not receive a message from support at wpadverts in about hours most
   likely the email you sent is not in my inbox nor in the spam folder.
