Hi,

Has this been resolved already? I'm receiving the same error too.

Hi Marko,

Unfortunately, this has not been resolved yet, we are still working on the issue.

I am in the same boat - have been trying to activate for five days now with no success and I have a class coming up very soon. Getting really desperate. I hope this won't get me in trouble for mentioning it, but there is the Raincode compiler that is free and can handle simulated DB/2 and CICS and COBOL2002 if you are as desperate as I am. It plugs itself into Visual Studio 2013 (free version).

I discovered an error in my WIndows event log. I wonder if this is stopping me from activating. Log says: The description for Event ID 0 from source mf_CCITCP2 cannot be found.  According to Google, CCITCP2 is a microfocus directory manager. However this was not installed when I ran the installation. Any ideas?

I just tested this here and the license activation worked OK for me so it appears like this is now fixed.

Can you please give the activation another try?

Thanks.
