Cannot activate SDL Trados Studio 2017 with Extra activation.

I have a SDL Trados Studio 2017 Freelance Plus license. I use SDL Trados Studio 2017 Freelance on my main PC.
I bought a new laptop last week, and 
I tried to activate SDL Trados Studio 2017 with the Extra activation code I have on my new laptop. 
I could not activate it. I received the following error message: 

Activation failed. The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.

Here is a screenshot of the error message:

 Here is a screenshot of my license page:

License page showing SDL Trados Studio 2017 Freelance Plus details, including 1 user in use, 0 available activations, and extra activations with no expiry date.

I should be able to activate it on my new laptop using the same license code. Why does the extra activation not work? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
