Solution

1. Check the system date on your computer. For instructions, see this article.
2. Try reactivating the application. For instructions, see this article.
3. If the system date is configured correctly and the repeated activation did not help, then the most probable reason for the issue is that your license has expired. Renew the license by purchasing a new activation code at a reduced price. For instructions, see this article.
