Please follow the steps below when an error message appears that the license is wrong, such as:
“Sorry, you've exceeded the amount of activations for this Authorization"
Or
“Activation invalid: Key mismatch”
Even that you have checked the Authorization number and the license seems to be already active, you could be in one of the cases mentioned above and the HW ID of the unit may have changed.
