 * I deactivated this plugin while troubleshooting. Upon reactivation, license key
   is lost. I restored the plugin from backups with no improvement.
    Is the license
   key anywhere within files?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Frestore-plugin-settings%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@janwat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/janwat/),
 * WP Mail SMTP free version does not require a license key. If you’re using a paid
   version of WP Mail SMTP, please [create a support ticket](https://wpmailsmtp.com/login/).
 * Thank you!

 * Problem is, I inherited the site which was set up by an out-of-business company.
   I don’t have the credentials but it appears to be a paid version.
