Hi there, and thank you for contacting WPML Support.

This issue usually happens when the WPML is not registered properly on your site. Could you please delete the existing site key and create a new one by following the below steps:

1. Login to your WPML.org account >> Go to the Sites page: https://wpml.org/account/sites/
2. Delete the existing site key.
3. Login to your site and go to the Dashboard >> Plugins >> Add new > Commercial tab and click the Unregister WPML from this site link if that link exists.
4. Then click the Register WPML link.
5. Click the Get a key for this site link.
6 It will generate the key for your site, and you can assign credits using that popup.
7. Copy the key, paste it back into the input box, and press the Register button.
8. Now, try to update the WPML plugins after taking a backup of your site.

Please let me know if this resolves the issue or if you need further assistance. 


I will be waiting for your response.
