Trying to do a handful of 15-to-16 upgrades tonight after hours. Looks like all the upgrades were successful, except a “This machine is not activated.” message after a reboot. Sure enough, logs say the activation / deployment ID was released as part of versionupgrade’s process, but wasn’t able to be restored.

Removing all license files for deployment [omitted]...Success!

Wed Aug 9 03:32:48 UTC 2023 Activating the system with deploymentID [omitted]
Asking for deployment [omitted]...Error!
Operation timed out after 30001 milliseconds with 0 out of -1 bytes received
Thankfully I was able to grab every box’s deployment ID from versionupgrade’s verbose output, so I don’t think there’s any serious harm done. 
That’s what the backups are for anyway, eh?
Are the activation servers having a hiccup, or is there something I should know about here?
Thanks, all!
