The "Product Key is empty or invalid. The extension has been automatically disabled." issue appears because of three common reasons. Usually, it's because you use the outdated version of the Magefan_Communty module, you downloaded a free version of the module for Magento Commerce or you use Translation extension v2.2.9.

Let's see what you can do to fix this issue in different cases.

Solution for Magento Open Source (CE)

If you get this error while saving the Magefan extension on the Magento Community edition and don't see any Product Key field, as on the screenshot:

To check the version of the Magefan Community extension have a look inside one of these files:

app/code/Magefan/Community/etc/module.xml

                <item name="x-client-ip" xsi:type="string">HTTP_X_REAL_IP</item>
                <item name="x-cf-connecting-ip" xsi:type="string">HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP</item>
                <!-- <item name="x-cf-mfcustom-ip" xsi:type="string">SOME_CUSTOM_SERVER_KEY</item> -->
            </argument>
        </arguments>
     </type>
</config>
