MATLAB keep on asking for activation

I am new to MATLAB and have come across a problem after installing MATLAB on Windows 10. When the installation finishes, I moved on to software activation and provided all the information required. However, when I want to launch MATLAB R2017a, it just launch the activation module again and ask for the same set of information. I have gone through activation for several times but still not able to use the features in MATLAB. May I know if how this could be solved please? Thank you.

I (was) having the exact same issue. Used answer below, right click on program, select "run as administrator", entered password. Matlab opened right up.

You may need to use Run As Administrator once, in order to allow MATLAB to write to the proper license file.
