"The device cannot be removed before March 17th, 2024."


Same here. There seems to be a two week timeout before a device can be removed. Which would be reasonable if the device was identified correctly. Instead of reducing the timeout and requiring manual intervention by the user several times ...

I moved to a new laptop with OpenSuse Tumbleweed and observe the same behavior. So far this has not resulted in me being blocked from using FFS (there were 5 entries for my license today).
