 * Hi there,
 * We just purchased credits via [https://www.maxmind.com](https://www.maxmind.com)
   so we how have a License Key and a User ID, so we updated the plugin to use ‘
   Maxmind Precision Web-API’ and we populated it as below:
 * User ID: XXXXXX (as per that found within the [http://www.maxmind.com](http://www.maxmind.com)
   account)
    User Secret: (we couldn’t locate a ‘User Secret’ but we do have a License
   Key, so we tried that, but sadly it isn’t working) API Type: City
 * So sorry if this is a really obvious question, but please could you let me know
   what I am doing wrong and how to locate a User Secret value?
 * Thanks ever so much,
    TJL

 * Yes the Licence key is the “User Secret”. Did you make sure you did not copy 
   whitespace together with it? This is the only thing I could think of right now.
   I will request a trial from Maxmind in order to debug this …

 * So I have tried it with my trial key and it works.
    Maybe contact the Maxmind
   support?
