5.2 Invalid activation code

[error] [http] [username=nessus_ms_agent, request_id=mug/1611798084:0:89] Nessus Plugins: The server returned an error: Invalid activation code

You can find the active code on your register email.
I got the active code:
xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

The reason of the problem was that I remove the character '-' when I input the active code:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You must input xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx, not xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
