Are you stuck on the "Upgrade Now" screen even though you've already purchased WikiCamps for Android? Or you have a 14-day trial banner that won't go away?
If you have already paid for WikiCamps on Android but you're seeing this screen it means that your device has not been able to validate your previous purchase.
To fix it, the app will need to find your purchase in our activation logs using the Google Account you linked when you purchased WikiCamps.
You can do this using the "Check for Purchase" procedure below.
How to Activate WikiCamps
Check for Purchase:
- Navigate to the Upgrade screen
- If you aren't taken here automatically, you can tap on the upgrade button found in the red banner at the top of the home menu.
- Tap "Check Now" under 'Already Purchased'
- You might be asked for permission to access your contacts. You can grant this permission safely because we will only use it to find the Activation Account and that's it.
- Select the Activated Account
- Done! WikiCamps should be activated on this device
Please note, your activated Google Account is not the same as a WikiCamps User Account.
Did Anything Go Wrong?
Please follow the below steps to troubleshoot upgrade now/activation issues:
1 - Clear the app cache on your device:
This will reset your device's connection to the activation service and allow you to check your Google account again.
