SYMPTOM:
Users get the following error message when using a CPU-based license key even though "Yes, I want to request an Activation Code now" is selected in License Manager in Strategy 9.x and 10.x:
You have chosen not to request an Activation Code at this time
If the user selects "No, I will request the Activation Code at a later time", an activate.xml file is not created even though the existing activate.xml was renamed in the past.
CAUSE: One possible cause is that the user is not launching License Manager as the root user.
ACTION: Launch Strategy License Manager as the root user.
