Hopefully the antivirus sw and/or vpn and/or firewall being turned off might help but...it didn't for me not to mention it is a security issue and please be sure to scan your computer afterwards and disinfect. Had already been logged in as administrator and user with full privileges and still was in the horrible endless activation login loop. Sorry to hear TT still hasn't fixed this problem but I am not at all surprised.
What I had to do as previously posted was go to properties for the program and enable all boxes including system and uncheck read only which fixed the problem. If you haven't seen my previous post, you might want to take a look.
Afterwards when checking out an alternative tax sw (taxact) for next year recommended by others, I saw they had a step by step process for just this problem and one of the final steps was in fact going to properties and unchecking the read only box so perhaps that is what did it for me.
Good luck.
