Activating Nessus VM Appliance

I am trying to activate the Nessus VM Appliance using a professional
feed code. I am receiving this error.

Activating Nessus plugin feed failed: Registration of Nessus plugin feed
failed: nessus-fetch returned: 256

Any ideas what the problem could be?

Thanks.

You probably mistyped your activation code and it was refused by the
server. Note that the activation code is case sensitive.
