SOLVED: License went sour

Bugs
1

One of our site’s licenses suddenly was no longer “good” / working (even though the site is still listed in our bricks dashboard and the key is the same/correct). While troubleshooting I deactivated that site’s license. I get an error message: “Unsupported Media Type” when I attempt to activate again.

I see from past posts that this can be because of your license server being down.

This is a big problem for us however, as we’re not able to do any work on the site while this is happening and have ASAP requests in for it. Is there a permanent solution for this?

I am getting the same error. Trying to work on a client site and can’t.

interesting
60 min ago I created new dev and activated a license and didnt have any issue

I just deactivated the license to test again and it is fine it gets activated.

I’m still not able to activate the license on a site, same error.

If helpful, here is the network response through admin-ajax.php’s call to bricksbuilder.io:

Same issue on my site, I can’t activate my license anymore. It was still working a couple of hours ago. Thanks for checking this!

The license activations on all affected servers should be working now. If not, please share the admin login details at help@bricksbuilder.io with us, so we can further investigate this issue.

The root cause was with our hosts’ firewall rules, which blocked the license activation request from going through on specific servers.

This issue has returned today.
Can you please find a permanent solution at least for lifetime licenses?

Thank you Bricks team
