What happens if you press "next"?

The 'next' button will open up the actual activation key insertion box, from where if I press the 'next' without any activation key.. it will pop up another dialog box with the error message (Plz refer to the attached)

Do you have internet connection on this computer?

Yes, I do have internet on this machine. And If I go to the address given in the dialog box to activate a Demo license the site is missing (image attached). And If I go to the corona official website, there is section for Demo activation of which gives Demo license activation for 3dsmax and C4D only. And If I try one of them with the 'request' key from this Standalone dialog box, Its says that the request code is wrong.

Do you use protection s/w or a have a firewall running or got otherwise blocked access to the web for Corona Standalone?

Checked w/ Blender 2.79b and Corona SA 3:

Hi Burnin! Works fantastic. Thanks a lot. Based on your post I just checked my firewall and found that its the culprit. For some strange reason it was blocking the app and I manually add it into exclusion and voila its work like a charm. Thanks a lot both of you Burnin and maru! much appreciated.
