I just tested it again and it sure works without any issues , sure the online server is down but the manual activation is still working fine . you need to make a activation request offline then send the Txt to SM you immediately will receive the activation certificate .... you guys naturally removed the manual activation on 11.2 , thos who have purchased version 11 at SM still have the option to manually activate . sure the 11.2 will not work it is just for the ones who want to keep there 11.1 running . you just will have to repeat this step every 180 days and may be block the call home server .

It is very sad that Bondware is setting such limits especially for the ones who have limited Internet access as such a file is very small and you can even use your cellphone to get the certificate txt
