I've done this quite a lot for both demo and production licenses and I've never experienced any problems so far.

Can you please be a bit more specific about what happens when you try to activate the license? Error messages and screenshots etc. would be very helpful.

Just to close the loop on this investigation. The cause of the issue turn out to be related to the email server (likely on the receiving end) with which the license file was transferred. An extra line return (empty line) was added to the end of the license file, during the email transfer, which caused license to be invalid, when uploaded to the Server. We were not able to reproduce this issue with the file we sent out. And once the extra line return was removed from the license file on the client end, it could be activated fine on the Server.
