 +**⚠️ATTENTION⚠️ (2025-11)**
 +
 +**A bug in the latest version of the //Epic Games Launcher// is preventing Unreal Engine from properly validating our plugin purchases. We are in contact with Epic Games and they are actively working to provide a fix as soon as possible.**
 +
 +**In the meantime, you can [[https://we.tl/t-itqpEWEHZw|download a workaround]] and follow the instructions in the included ''README.txt'' file.**

 +===== Check for a valid license =====
 +
 +Our plugins are commonly licensed **per user**. This means that **one license must be purchased for each user working on a project that utilizes the Plugin**. you can read more about it in the [[ue-plugin-per-user-license]] article.
 +
 +First, ensure your Epic Account has a valid license of the plugin:
 +
 +  * Open the Epic Games Launcher (EGL).
 +  * Ensure you are logged-in with your account.
 +  * Verify that the plugin is listed in your Library, under //Unreal Engine > Library > Library//.
 +
 +It the plugin is not listed, it means you must purchase a license for your account.
 +
 +If the plugin is correctly listed, then //PluginWarden// fails to validate it for some technical problems. Please keep reading to ensure your machine and project are configured correctly.
