I believe they do this because they are also trying to be a content portal, and this ensures each machine is activated in conjunction with an on-line account. No account, no activation code.
It wouldn't be my preference to handle activation this way, but since the printer was free, I'm not going to complain!

I received my Cube today also. I had trouble activating it because the shipping dept. did not enter my device into their system so phone support gave me the activation code.
My cube also did not have the USB Stick. There is no software with it so I cannot convert the Inventor STL files into a .cube file for printing. I cannot find it on the web site to download so I assume I'll have to wait all weekend to get a response from support.
I also found out that the Cube firmware does not allow spaces in the Wi-Fi password or the printer name. Therefore I cannot connect my cube to the internet!
I am glad to receive a free printer and I will be sure our team meets its commitment to the Grant. However, this late in the Build Season will be a challenge to get it running so that we can produce anything to go into our robot.
The printer does have some nice features. Its print space is bigger than the MoJo and I like the ability to build in support structures without extra material. The second color is a nice feature. I’ll let you know more when I get it to print something from Inventor!
