While Installing the Maker Edition, it showing Activation Failed.
Has the gateway got a valid internet connection?
Yes
You have credentials visible in your screenshot. You should blur those out. (Can an admin please hide the prior version after that?)
If you look at the C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\logs\wrapper.log, there may be more information about the Activation failed message you showed. Providing that error may help us troubleshoot further; however, the best bet might be to regenerate your activation token and try again.

Yes, I tried again for Activation & it's showing same error .
INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/06/04 21:22:29 | Caused by: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
This looks like a situation where you might have some kind of MitM TLS inspection going on, replacing the server certificate that Ignition is connecting to (in this case, licensing.inductiveautomation.com). Typically you'll see this on corporate networks with increased security provisions.
Since Ignition uses an internal JVM certificate trust store that isn't shared with your host OS, you may need to place whatever supplemental CA cert that is regenerating these certs into data/certificates/supplemental folder.
