Unable to deactivate license offline

Hello,

I would like to move the existing license from old machine to newer machine.

In this regards, I am going to manage this process offline.

As per the process, I able to activate the license on new machine, but could not able to deactivate it on old machine.

I am getting following error message as shown below when copied deactivation authorization from RWS account.

Product Activation window showing Offline Deactivation steps. An error message reads: 'Failed to deactivate offline. The specified deactivation authorization may not be valid. Validate your deactivation authorization against the authorization in your SDL Account.'

Could you please help me to fix this issue?
