This error will occur if attempting to activate when you're not a Licensed End User on the license.
If you are a License Administrator, you can change the User associated with a license in the License Center  of your MathWorks Account.
  • Log in to your MathWorks Account
  • Navigate to the License Center
  • Click on the License Number
  • Switch to the 'Manage Users' tab
  • To add a User, click on the button that reads 'Add User'
  • To remove a User, click on the 'X' icon under Remove User
