Is the no-license version of PMG meant to work with ACME from the GUI ?

When I try to generate new certificates, I get either 500/404 errors. (500 error went away after fixing a Caddy Server route, now its just 404).

It does not appear to be creating the challenge file ? How can I fix this?

Code:
Loading ACME account details
Placing ACME order
Order URL: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/order/sdfsdfsdf/sdfsdfsdf

Getting authorization details from 'https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/authz/sdfsdfsd/sdfsdffds'
The validation for DOMAIN is pending!
Setting up webserver
Triggering validation
Sleeping for 5 seconds
TASK ERROR: validating challenge 'https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/authz/sdfsdfsd/sdfsdfsd' failed - status: invalid, IP.IP.IP.IP: Invalid response from https://DOMAIN/.well-known/acme-challenge/i2_KAwefwefZGrQR9Xln-OJZKffwefwefwefsy7T5RFFCG-uBV-ea1avKqus: 404
 
There is no functional difference between a PMG with a support subscription and one without. The actual license is open source anyhow.
The difference is that only subscripers get access to the enterprise repo (which will only get updates tested in the no-subscription version, so you basically pay by being a tester) and (depending on the choosen tier) can file support tickets.

So: For acme subscription status doesn't matter. Since you mentioned using caddy I can imagine that somehow in the route letsencrypt->caddy->pmg something wents wrong. Could you try to setup PMG and your DNS provider to use the DNS challenge instead?
