Hi guys,

I had a problem activating the Yoast SEO Premium a few minutes ago and tried to look for solutions on the forum here. I couldn’t find an exact match, but was inspired by Rick Rottman on the forum on what file to edit exactly and thought I should share with you how I got it working.

First the file to edit is: wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo-premium/vendor/yoast/license-manager/class-license-manager.php

On version 5.8, the line you want to edit is line 330.

It initially reads as: return trim( $license_status );
change it to: return trim(‘valid’);

that’s it!

I hope this helps someone out there!

Hi!

Yes, the premium features are very few including optimizing for more than 1 keyword, internal linking suggestions when writing posts. Not very different from the free version, but still useful when it comes to internal linking.

Also helps with URL redirects. So if you changed the link to your post, it automatically links the old link to the new one which Google kind of likes and makes you not lose your backlinks.

public function get_license_status() {
$license_status = $this->get_option( ‘status’ );

return trim(‘valid’);
}

but it’s still showing Not Activated.
