 * I’ve been using charitable for about 10 years. We only get a few donations a 
   year so I haven’t switched to the Pro versions.
 * I am currently on version 1.7.0.5. Is there a lite version newer one available?
   WordPress says it wants to update, but when I select update I get:
 * You have not activated your license key.
 * When I look at my Charitable General Settings it says:
 * You’re using **Charitable Lite** – no license needed. Enjoy! 🙂
 * So, will I be on 1.7.0.5 forever?

   Thanks for reaching out. Version 1.7.0.5 back in 2022 did have a bug related 
   to updating. What I would recommend would be to manually update the plugin (and
   if you want to err on the side of caution do a backup first). There is a a newer
   version of lite. You can download the zip file and overwrite the current version
   by going to “Plugins” -> “Add Plugin” and uploading the zip file, which then 
   WordPress should ask you if you want to override.
   Or install it via FTP:

 * Hope this helps and happy to answer further questions. Thanks for using Charitable
   for over 10 years!

 * We are going to go ahead and close this thread for now. But if you’d like us 
   to assist further, please feel welcome to continue the conversation.
 * Thanks!
