I recently downloaded a trial version of ArcGIS 10.4 and have been unable to authorize it. I followed all the steps in the email received in the authorization wizard and got to the final step, at which point ESRI was unable to connect to carry out the authorization. I tried another method of authorization by saving the authorization file to upload to the ESRI website, but upon trying to save the file, it turns out to be a ghost file that is nonexistent in my computer.
Yesterday, I tried to open up ArcGIS Administrator to run the authorization wizard again, only to have it crash, and now ArcGIS Administrator crashes every time I try to open it. The message I get is: ArcGIS Administrator has stopped working.
Can somebody tell me what's going on and/or how to resolve this???
The details are the following:

I am having the same problem with ArcGIS Administrator crashing and receiving the BEX Problem Event Name. Because of this, I'm unable to use StreetMap Premium. Too bad ESRI support has not made an effort to help with this problem.

Esri support does not monitor this forum. You need to open a ticket with them if you need help.
If the software gets broken in this way, I recommend doing a repair install of ArcGIS Desktop. Then you can try to authenticate again. I am most familiar with the student trials, in which case you go to the Esri website, set up an esri login if you don't have one, and then authenticate your ESU#. Only then can you provision to a desktop.
