To get the activation to work, I had to run the following:
sudo chown -R <user> /opt/resolve/
Without this I just got the generic "There was an error attempting to perform the activation"
I am guessing this is because my user did not have access to write to the folder.
I am unsure if this is the best approach though as I suspect this could cause issues when I go to run an update later.
