Customer support: 1.0

Hi, I have purchased Pro license. However, when I tried to activated the license, it says "Oh no! We had some trouble verifying your licence. Please try again." I tried several times but it didn't work. I also tried to send an email but there is no email address. The support portal is inaccessible. Please help. Thanks

Maybe, it's better to use Instagram and create a lot of posts, like a beginner blogger.
