Same thing happened to me, logged in this morning and was presented with the message that says I need to upgrade, again.
Also, I had to disable the firewall completely when running 'sh /scripts/update_cwp' the first time. Makes me nervous.
What is the mechanism behind activation? E.g. What IPs need to be whitelisted? And how does it check activation status. Knowing more will allow us to troubleshoot this issue better at the end of the day.
CWP Version: 0.9.8.1000
CentOS Linux release 7.8.2003 (Core)
