Saw this old post:
This appears to be a problem still in 2026.
We have an unlimited license. We have a multi-site WordPress. The main site (subsite) has a valid Pro license activated as do some other subsites already set up. The subsite shows 6.8.8 as available. Under the top-level Network Admin in WordPress, there is no update available. I’ve cleared cache, I deactivated the license and reactivated on the main (first) subsite. No change.
This really needs to be fixed. Auto-updates in 2026 are a security necessity, especially with AI being used to probe for weaknesses constantly.
What can be done to override or fix this behavior?
