New MPC X SE - can't activate standalone plugins

Been trying for hours to get the Mini D and Juro plugins (purchased earlier today) to activate standalone on the MPC X SE.

Ironically, the firmware updated just fine.
Software and those plugins downloaded/installed/activated immediately.

Ordered a USB>Ethernet adapter to see if that'll work.
Don't hold much hope for that.
Tried hot-spot on my iPhone, 5G/2G WiFi (both main and extenders) and it won't authorize with any connection.

Seems the solution is to message Akai support... and wait for a day/two while it's sorted.

I had planned to use the MPC X SE in a live scenario.
How in the world could a professional depend on this?
If those plugins ever needed reauthorized, I'd be totally SOL.
Out of scores of hardware/software/plugin vendors over the past 40 years, Akai has the absolute worst authorization system I've encountered.

It's "normal" for it to take a day or 2 to active. If it still doesn't work after that time go curse out Akai. There a post like this every week & it usually works out.

I know the tone of my post was sour.
It's almost like a human has to manually "push thru" the activation.
The iLok activation, software install, and firmware update were instantaneous/flawless.

I didn't take it as being sour. It's just a common problem. I'm it worked out for you. Have fun with the X.

I've Got both the MiniD and the Jura Plugin's bought them last year, Work fine in my MPC Live(not 2) and my Akai Force. Bought the MPC X SE and I've tried everything, The activate buttons are lit up green but when I press them I get :-

Could not validate from the server(licence status:8).

all the Included ones showed up fine and they even installed in the LIVE. So what am I doing wrong? It must be ME because it can't be AKAI

I found this video about this problem on Youtube

and the pinned comment at the top with a solution did the trick for me.
Ie - reset preferences and then try activate the plugin. Just like many commented in the comment thread, it worked for them and it worked for me.
