Hi,
Thank you very much for the details it helped a lot.
After some debugging I have found the error stack trace:

thrown in /home/scenesderd/www/wp-content/plugins/ajax-search-pro/src/server/Database/Manager.php on line 200This indicated a database issue, where one of the options was corrupted (_asp_db_tables), likely during saving or when migrated from the staging environment. I have removed the option from the database so it’s get refreshed and now the plugin activates and will work as before. This is extremely rare and likely will never happen again.
I left it deactivated for you as I don’t want to change anything on your website without permission.
