Macross Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 Make sure the clock on your computer hasnt gone to the default BIOS setting of 2000 or something like that. Might be causing authentication issues. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

MackTheKnight Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) I'm having the exact same problem with a brand new build here. I've submitted a support request to ED. I'm getting the same error when trying to activate A10C or BS2. Strangely BS1 activated without issue. Con3para, if you're still around - did you ever get this solved and how?
