The Getting Started guide for the 2010 development platform reveals all:

At the installer - Choose Activation Type screen, select "Permanent activation' and click browse.

Browse to the DVD-R138732.1-1 directory and select FirstRobotics_2010_install.txt file. Click
Open. No internet connectivity is required to obtain your product activation file
(FirstRobotics_2010_install.txt).

This is what bit us at first too. Re-installing just the IDE portion of Wind River should be enough for the new license file to take hold.

EDIT: Can we make this or another one of the activation issue threads a sticky? It seems to be a common occurance. Teams should really use the search feature, though...
