    Reinstall - Cant validate licence and more

    I had to do a complete reinstall of the forum and vBSEO (same directories and everything) but i when i click on save key it still stays red and nothing goes green in the box.

    Also, I submitted my sitemap to goodle and it comes up with error 404 result (from the google page)

    Any idea how to fix these issues?

    Thanks in advance,

    Paul

    Make sure you install vBSEO 3.0.0 RC8. Then copy the key shown below the key input box, paste it into the input box, and save.

    Just to note I have submitted, got the error it needed to be in the main URL no subfolders, so i added a new site with /forum on the end and so far it seems happy
