Invalid License Format, Could Not Interpret The Information From Server

Why "Invalid license format, could not interpret the information from server" error is thrown when activating license in Orchestrator?

Root Cause: This error is seen when the license is activated in https://activate.UiPath.com/orchestrator and is being used on a higher version of Orchestrator (example - 2019.10.x or 2020.4.x).

https://activate.UiPath.com/orchestrator is used only when activating/deactivating license for version 2019.4 or lower. From 2019.10, https://activate.UiPath.com/ needs to be used for activation/deactivation of Orchestrator licenses.


Resolution:
Have the machine ID deactivated by contacting UiPath Sales team and re-activate license using Online or Offline methods .
