@SteamTrain @NCperson @DoninGA
Just an FYI, the "resolution" set forth by @NCperson did not work for me on one of my machines.
I still get the blank, white activation box which, if left alone for a minute or two, results in a screen informing me that I am not connected to the internet (to which I most definitely am connected).
Here is the kicker: I have another machine, which is identical in all respects (and I mean EVERTYTHING, right down to the connection to my router via ethernet) and the install on that machine went smoothly and without issue.
Therefore, something else (untoward) has got to be happening here.
