Hey @Chris,
Really sorry about this – the issue right now is that http://tri.be is down temporarily, which we are working to fix. License requests ping that domain so it is failing 🙁
If you are in urgent need of this license validation to work, you could add the following line of code to your site’s wp-config.php file, which will make the license validation requests circumvent the http://tri.be domain name:
define( 'PUE_UPDATE_URL', 'https://theeventscalendar.com' );
If editing the wp-config.php file is not something you’re interested in for this issue, then no worries; sit tight! We’re hoping to have the http://tri.be site back up in a matter of a few hours at most.
Thanks for your patience with this. Please let me know if the information here is helpful and/or if there’s anything else I can help with.
Cheers,
George
