eugenio-mariaE Site owner	Background of the issue: I am trying to use the credits that we bought for WPML, but I can't because the website on the WPML dashboard says it is inactive. Symptoms: The plugin on the website says it is registered, but the WPML dashboard says it is inactive. Questions: Why does the WPML dashboard show the website as inactive when the plugin says it is registered? How can I use the credits we purchased if the dashboard shows the website as inactive?

eugenio-mariaE Site owner	If can be of any help, the developer account has a lifetime licence, so maybe the handoff to our account is stuck somehow
