I am not sure why this is happening. I use backup buddy and try to use this for a faster installation and migration to a new hosting platform. I recent switched hosting companies again and we have decided to build our own dedicated server due to limitations from the hosting companies in resources.
We tried using the script on many shared hosting platforms and we can say the best platform would be a VPS or dedicated server for performance and resource use. Why I am saying all of this is because we have moved the site now using backup buddy and clean installs with the same issues.
I thought at first it was because I left the older site running until we could test and make sure everything restored correctly, but even after removing the other site I was still unable to activate the license key again.
I keep getting an API key error and when I go to my order form I am typing in the correct API keys.
I would never post anything unless I was truly stumped and this one has me.
Again, I restored a backup and the purchased plugin will not activate now with the correct keys.
I have done a fresh install and followed the instructions of installing the free first and then over writing with the purchased and cannot activate.
I have deleted our original site we left for safety reasons and now I no longer have a site that is activated and I cannot activate the fresh install.
I have done a restore of the original backup and the backup from the activated site now says this is not activated, but has the correct keys, but then gives an API error. These are not the correct keys?
What would be best practices moving forward if we have to do this again and can this issue be solved?
We need to have a working backup just incase and now we are seeing that the backups we are making deactivate the keys.
What would you recommend?
Our concern again is that all backups are worthless if we cannot restore them and it deactivates the keys. We have now went back to the other hosting companies and did fresh installs and restores of the backups made and now all restores cannot be activated?
