TA_Activate() and TA_E_PKEYAnswered

Don’t mess with implementation details you’ll get off behavior.

Use the latest version.

I've solved problem but the reason is kind of weird.

I use newest TurboActivate version (4.4.2.2). Everything worked fine for a long time, but after recent Windows 10 auto update (I don't remember the date) it stopped working. As I said, TA_CheckAndSavePKey() returned TA_FAIL no matter what. Removing [… implementation detail folders] fixed the problem (inside those folders there were some modified files), but then TA_Activate() returned TA_E_PKEY all the time. 

It was working on some computers, but some customers reported error related to  TA_CheckAndSavePKey() problem. 

To make it work I have to allow the key to be activated on virtual machines. The weird part is I don't work on VM and TA_Activate() return TA_E_PKEY, not TA_E_IN_VM (code 17), so solution was mainly a lucky guess.

I still need help with this problem. One of the customers reported problem I described: first he has problem with TA_CheckAndSavePKey() (TA_FAIL), then he removed folders from solution linked above and now he has error code 2 on TA_Activate().

Product key he uses is OK, they also unlocked ports (80, 443) and I changed settings of the key, allowing it to be activated on VM (this solved problem for me), but it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

Code looks like this:

HRESULT hr = TA_CheckAndSavePKey(taHandle, key.toStdWString().c_str(), TA_SYSTEM);

if (hr == TA_OK)
{
(...)}
else
{(..)}

When TA_CheckAndSavePKey is TA_OK:

ACTIVATE_OPTIONS opts = {0};
opts.nLength = sizeof(ACTIVATE_OPTIONS);
wchar_t tmp[255];
tmp[0]=0;
int len = extraData.toWCharArray(tmp);
tmp[len]= 0;
opts.sExtraData = tmp;

HRESULT hr = TA_Activate(taHandle, &opts);
if (hr == TA_OK)
{(...)
}
else
{(...)}

And TA_Activate returns TA_E_PKEY (error code 2).
