Even though your license never expires, the local key has a valid life of 15 days. When the 15-day period has passed, the key is automatically renewed and stored in the database. This is done to reduce the risk of fraud and enables you to move the license as explained above in point a). For more information, read this article http://docs.reviewsforjoomla.com/How_does_the_JReviews_license_work.

The add-ons don't have client area downloads. The Everywhere add-on is bundled with JReviews and will show up in the admin screen once you submit your license number. GeoMaps and PaidListings are both installed via the remote installer/updater menu in the JReviews administration.

Go to the JReviews admin license screen. Clear the local key text area and re-submit the license number. This will fetch a new local key that includes the recently purchased add-on information. If that doesn't work submit a ticket.

You need to check the "upload_max_filesize" setting in your server’s php.ini file and increase it to at least 8M so the the package can be installed without a server timeout.

Make sure all your menus have unique aliases. If you created the hidden Joomla menus required for proper sef url functionality, these cannot have the same aliases as their JReviews equivalents.

*If you have sh404sef installed, make sure you also enabled Joomla SEF as explained here: http://docs.reviewsforjoomla.com/Using_sh404SEF_with_JReviews
+
*If JReviews category page urls are not sef, then sh404sef is not setup correctly.
+
 
+
====The listing or review form submission hangs====
+
*Add the &tmpl=component param to the url. If you use a sef component then add ?tmpl=component. This will remove your Joomla template and modules and load JReviews by itself. Now try the submission again. If it works it means there’s a conflict with a module or plugin that is also loading on that page.
+
:*Look at the source of the page (without the tmpl=component parameter) on your browser and search for other instances of jquery. If another extension loads jQuery you need to disable it to see if that is causing the problem.
+
:*Try disabling 3rd party plugins and modules until you find the conflicting one
+
:*Check the conflicts board on the forum
+
*Try disabling email notifications and auto-Tweets to see if you can rule those out as being the cause of the problem.
+
*Use Firebug to view the response of the ajax request once you click on submit. This will appear in the “Console” tab in Firebug and you need to click on the “response” tab of the request you see appear when you press the submit button. Let us know what the response is in your post or ticket.

====Images are not uploaded with listings or thumbnails are not created====

Make sure the following two folders exist and are writable by Joomla. Otherwise create them and change ownership/writing permissions as necessary.
