Thanks for staying with User Role Editor Pro. Your license key is still the same.
URE Pro update server caches responses for the clients requests for 12 hours. It’s a reason why you still saw “Expired” after upgrading your account to Pro Personal Lifetime.
Take the license key from your account page and try again today. My test showed that your license is active.
“License key” field does not take empty values. You may input any not empty value (like 111) to stop use a valid license key on the site.
