I downloaded the FEKO app but never received the license dat file, but I did receive an activation key which I have already entered.

I have tried that, but I still get an error. There is no .dat file to delete. The activation code registered successfully but I still get this error.

David,

Please delete the .dat file and follow the steps mentioned in this video to activate the license using the activation key:
