Solution:

To resolve this error, first inspect your Internet connection by testing a website in a browser on the same machine. Resolve any connection issues you might have. If you are able to connect to the Internet, then check to see if there is a firewall blocking the site. You could also enter the flexnet operations URL directly in a browser. If you are able to connect to this site and still get the same error when attempting activation, please contact us.
