    Thanks for the update Carl,

    I have only one site with Gravity Forms at the moment, but I'm not seeing the automatic update kick in yet ?
    Any thoughts - perhaps I need to be more patient :)
    Cheers, Dave

    ps Correct license Key is set - and a tick is shown!

    Automatic updates can take some time to appear. Update checks are cached so it may not appear until the next time your site checks for updates. You can also try going to the "Updates" link under the Forms navigation to check for updates.

    After I updated/activated, my admin area is blank/white. Any ideas why this would happen?

    Drew, what you describe sounds is a PHP memory issue. Your site is unning out of available PHP memory... which results in the white screen. There is an error, but you don't see it because you don't have debug mode turned on in your wp-config.php file. You need to increase your available PHP memory by following the instructions here:

    You may need to contact your web host for assistance with this if you aren't sure how to make this change yourself.
