We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Further information. 

The error 80004005 or 0x80004005 relates to lack of permissions. 
 It appears that AnsysWBU.exe (Ansys Mechanical) is atempting to execute a Windows script object (Jscript or Cscript) and is being blocked.
 As I mentioned before, this occurs for two reasons:
 - Windows scripting libraries are not registered.
 - A Protection program / endpoint program is preventing AnsysWBU.exe from executing scripts.
