I have installed the Microfocus Visual Cobol 9 after downloading the product from the "">www.microfocus.com/.../overview". I have also installed a community edition of Visual Studio 2022 prior to the Visual Cobol install, and I can develop .net applications in it. However I am unable to create any of the "Visual COBOL" template projects. Creating these gives an error in Visual Studio. I cannot even open a COBOL file and when I try to do so, I can see the an error listed below the ribbon(Screen shot attached) in Visual Studio. The error reads as follows

"Visual Cobol for Visual Studio does not have a valid License".

When I try to install the License following the visual studio link in the error message, I get the error shown in the attached screenshot.

Please note that I have already installed the Visual Cobol License Manager and activated the product on the Microfocus Site.

How do I get past this installation error and start some coding in COBOL.
