Deactivation failed.Could not revoke this license

Hi Team,

Am trying to move Passolo 2018 license to a new machine.When trying to return the license I encounter the below error. 

Error message window with title 'Error' and text: 'Deactivation failed. Could not revoke this license. Could not connect to the activation server. Check the activation server address in the provider settings. The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.' An 'OK' button is visible at the bottom right.

Could you let me know how to overcome this error?
