Yes, it looks similar on my computer.
I cannot see the process SLE in Task Manager. (There are three occurrences of SAM, probably because Iâve tried in Chrome, Edge and IE.

Could you zip up your %appdata%\Steinberg\Activation Manager directory and post it here?
Activation Manager.zip (672 Bytes)
Hmm⌠It doesnât seem to have written any Logs at all, which is surprising.
First, could you try uninstalling âSteinberg Activation Managerâ (from Apps & Features in Settings) and reinstalling using the link I posted earlier.
Second, do you have multiple user accounts on this machine? Are you running SAM with the same user account as the one you used to install it, or a different account? What are the user directory names in C:\Users?
Thatâs it! There were three more strange accounts in C:/Users.
I deleted those strange three user folders and everything works as expected.
Many thanks, Richard
Great, glad to hear it works!
I went into my browser and allowed everything
( pop ups etc⌠) for the Steinberg site and activation manager could finally talk to Dorico on my pic
