 * Hi,
 * After updating the plugin I get the error below (multisite):
 * /Cannot run iThemes Security. Error encountered during setup. Please try
    deactivating
   and reactivating iThemes Security. Contact support if the error persists.// ////
   The itsec_logs table is not installed.// //The itsec_lockouts table is not installed.////
   The itsec_temp table is not installed.// //The itsec_distributed_storage table
   is not installed.// //The itsec_geolocation_cache table is not installed.// //
   The itsec_fingerprints table is not installed.// //The itsec_user_groups table
   is not installed.// //The itsec_mutexes table is not installed./
 * I tried reactivating/reinstalling the plugin without any luck. What to do?
 * Thanks you!

 * Hey,
    Thanks, I already checked that topic. Though my MYSQL user has all the 
   necessary privileges, so it should be able to create those tables. Also installing
   other (multisite wide) plugins is working flawlessly.
 * Anyone?

 * I exactly have the same problem.
    Tried also to uninstall/reinstall the plugin:
   no change. Tables are not created. Any idea on how to solve this ?
