Activation failed when updating licence from Scrivener 2 to Scrivener 3 [FIXED]

Hi, when using my Scrivener 2 licence information to get bumped up to Scrivener 3 (I purchased after 20th of November 2017 entitling me to a free update to 3, as detailed here prior to the link expiring I am told my licence is not valid for Scrivener 3 despite being told “Your licence has already been upgraded”.

Does not doing this during the trial period of Scrivener 3 have something to do with it?

I’m effectively locked out of my projects as a result until this issue is solved.

Any suggestions?

UPDATE: Fixed
Seems that the particular network I was on was blocking the activation.
Moving to a different location and a different internet connection seems to have fixed it.

To those struggling in future, I suggest you try the same!
