Description of problem:
According to the following error message, the creation of activation keys has restrictions on the characters that can be used in the activation key name:

Activation key names must be alphanumeric or the characters '-' or '_'.

However some character attempts are succeeding....

}


^^^ EXPECTED THAT TO FAIL
name "[OpeningBracket[" DOES NOT SATISFY "Activation key names must be alphanumeric or the characters '-' or '_'."

Other names that are also successfully creating activation keys that don't satisfy this restriction are:

[OpeningBracket[
]ClosingBracket]
`BackTick`
^Caret^
\Backslash\

An empty name value appears to be ok too.  I would assume this is acceptable.  Please confirm.

Works as expected now, all above cases fail as they should:
