That's a tricky answer. Let me explain.

Yes, WordFence is solid and will keep your site running. It will inform you of anything that happens and even tell you what you can do to mitigate some of the attacks. I've been using it for years.

But... please, please, please, do not rely on just WordFence. You cannot imagine how many sites we have recovered that were running WordFence or WP-Guard and <sarcasm>the best one of them all: i-themes security.</sarcasm>

IMHO, if you are serious about your website such as running an e-commerce or dealing with sensitive information from your users or similar, go for Google Cloud Click to Deploy. Then, use WordFence.
I appreciate your opinion, </sarcasm> and all... 😊

i did ofcourse, still premium doesnt work
What do you mean, premium doesn't work, if your saying b/c on the dashboard, it doesn't say premium active, if you did the null options, all premium features should be active...

Another suggest is go into options, find towards the top delete all settings & db tables, enable, then delete the plugin, then reinstall, do the null directions first before activating, after nulling then activate the plugin.

Never had an issue doing the null, let us know.

I did it all above, 3 times. I used wordfence assistant to remove all data and tables still don't work. I am using wordfence for few years and never had a problem just this time. It's a fresh WordPress installation.

I tried the instructions above and found that my version was already nulled with the above suggested edits and I have the same problem. I have the following message at the top:

Wordfence could not register with the Wordfence scanning servers when it activated. You can try to fix this by deactivating Wordfence and then activating it again, so Wordfence will retry registering for you. If you keep seeing this error, it usually means your WordPress server can't connect to our scanning servers, or your wfConfig database table cannot be created to save the key. You can try asking your host to allow your server to connect to noc1.wordfence.com or check the wfConfig database table and database privileges.

It keeps asking me to register.

Is it possible that they found websites using nulled versions and blacklisted them?

I deactivated the plugin and uninstalled it, and then installed the download you provided.
Same issue. Get the same message I posted above.

I have 3 websites and it installed and is working fine on 2 websites. On both those websites when I check the settings, there is a key installed.

The 3rd website keeps giving me an issue and when I check in the settings, the key is missing and it keeps asking to upgrade.

Ok so I managed to fix the issue. Seems to get bugged when updating a previous install.

1) Deactivate the plugin
2) Delete the plugin
3) Go into cPanel to phpmyadmin to access your database, and "Drop" all the table that start with "wp_wf******".
4) Go to plugins, select upload plugin and select the .zip file of the plugin to install.
5) Activate the plugin
6) Go to Wordfence and it will ask you to complete the install.
7) Should now work once you enter your info and submit.

As FYI, in the WF All Options, there is a setting towards the top that asks if you want to delete all db tables, on uninstall, letting you know for next time... Save ya some time & effort in the future.
