    Hi,

    The website where i need to use this plugin is host in an old server, using ubuntu 14 (website owner categorically refuse his website be down si i cant upgrade the os… ). It use also php 7.2 with old curl library…

    So, when i try to add licence for paied plugins, i get a certificate error.

    I corrected this by using this patch :

    File : \src\php\core-classes\Licensing\licensing-client.class.php
    Line : 227

    Original code :

    $request = wp_safe_remote_post($target_url, ['timeout' => 15]);

    Patch code :

    $request = wp_safe_remote_post($target_url, ['timeout' => 15, 'sslverify' => false]);

    I don’t know if it can be added to the plugin or used as temporary patch

    Hi,

    We have a setting option (settings > WP Customer Area) that should allow you to bypass SSL for licenses checks. Is that setting working?

    Regards.

    Also, the certificate error comes from an outdated curl and openSSL library (OpenSSL 1.1.x required). If you update that, you should be good. You don’t necessarily need to reboot the server and shut down the site when updating those libs.
