Make sure you’re on WordPress 5.0 or greater, PHP 7+, MySQL 5.6+ and WP Memory Limit is 128MB or more (256 MB is preferred).
Check if Elementor and Elementor Pro is updated to the latest version. You can check this in WordPress Dashboard > Plugins. If there’s an update on the Elementor plugin, click Update Now and it will be updated in the background.
Switch your activated theme with the Twenty Twenty theme which is the default theme of WordPress. If there’s an issue with the theme, you can either use a different theme or contact the developer of that theme with the issue.
Deactivate all the plugins except Elementor and Elementor Pro to see if that solves the problem. If then Elementor loads fine, then try reactivating the plugin one by one until you find the one causing issues with Elementor.

If the Elementor still doesn’t load, then it’s best to contact the support.

➠ What happens when Elementor pro expires?

As Elementor is based on yearly pricing, you will have to renew every year to keep receiving the Elementor Pro updates and support access.

If you decide not to renew it after it expires, you can continue to use it on all your websites without any problems as long as you keep the Elementor Pro plugin installed on your website. But then you will not be receiving any updates or support from Elementor which can cause some issue after some time due to incompatibility with the Elementor free plugin.

So it’s recommended to renew the Elementor Pro every year to receive the updates and keep the site secure continuously.
