I just deactivated the license to move my system to a different server, and it will not activate on the new server (it tells me there are no activations left). I can’t find an inactivation request on the old server, just in case it created the text files there because it couldn’t reach the IA server over the internet.

Any ideas? The customer is completely down, and I’d like this running by tomorrow morning.
