Rereading your posts again, I've realised that you mention a cdm file - this implies you have installed a pro license at some point on this machine.
I suggest that you delete (or just rename) the NXPLPCXpresso license directory, and try activating your Free Edition again.
But why you want to activate Free if you have previously installed Pro, I'm not sure ... ?
