 * Hi [@incl8](https://wordpress.org/support/users/incl8/), Thank you for reaching
   out.
   Can you confirm that you are not installing the keys more than 24 hours 
   after generation?
 * If not, then please try deactivating and reactivating Wordfence on the Plugins
   area of your site as this solves the issue for some customers.
 * You could also check whether you can install the license when Wordfence is the
   only active plugin on your site. There could be a Javascript conflict with another
   plugin potentially stopping the code executing the verification check.
 * In some cases, disabling caching plugins resolves the issue.
 * Let me know how it goes.
 * Thanks,
   Mark.
