For everyone, who's having the same issue;

1) Navigate to the "Addon Manager" folder in explorer

2) open the command prompt by typing cmd in the address bar


3)
[...] and type this:

qlmlicenseWizard /settings "GSX Pro 3.0.lw.xml"

4) Click on "activate your license" and enter your info

I have gone in the license wizard where I already had the key in. Is it safe to hit deactivate?

If it's already active, you shouldn't need to do that, but if you are still getting the Trial, you can Deactivate and then Reactivate there. The important thing is, if your normal user account is limited, you must run the License Wizard with that same user.

As confirmed by the other user that also had this problem:

https://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,27275.msg178950.html#msg178950

That solution should work and there's no reason it wouldn't. There are no other solutions, other than (of course) give your user admin rights, which will make everything much easier in general.

Because you are not supposed to run it as Admin but, instead, activate the product in non-admin mode, as explained in the previous post.

Because you haven't activated it in non-admin mode, using the License Wizard as explained in  the previous post I've linked.

But since you can see in this thread this solution works for non-admin users, the only possible explanation is you are not doing that. Maybe you started the command prompt with admin rights without realizing it.
