Trados Studio 2021 Activation failed (403 error)

Hello, I am using Trados Studio 2021 Freelance, and I have this 403 error message when I try and activate the software with my activation code.

Please see below the screenshot that I get:

Error message window with title 'Error' and text: 'Activation failed. Could not connect to the activation server. Check the activation server address in the provider settings. - The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.' with an 'OK' button.

Please assist as soon as you can.

Many thanks, Sponono Mahlangu
