Hi My account says my licence is available for activation. I cannot activate it online nor offline? Can somebody help me

I deactivated my licence a few days ago and it is deactivated offline. it is now available for activation. I tried to reactive it online I failed. I tried to reactivate offline. I failed. 

How can I do that? 

Why is it that SDL does not help directly and pass the buck to the community? It is so frustrating. 

Can anyone help? I need to get it going so that I can take on a new project. 

Many thanks in advance 

Jon
