Unable to activate v1.9 [Linux]

[R-A-F]

Running openSUSE Tumbleweed kernel 7.0.5-1. Version 1.8 ran just fine on the same system/config. Now after removal of the old version and installation of the brand new v1.9, I'm greeted with X-Aviation Product Activation window. After inputting correct credential and clicking "Login" all I get is a red message "Unable to read response from server." I do have a  internet connection on my X-Plane machine, and other models/plugins can communicate with their activation servers just fine (X-Plane org store models for example). Does you plugin require a specific dependency maybe? Any ideas?

 

X-Plane Log.txt shows the following lines after clicking "Login":

 

X-Aviation Activation (login_window.cpp.96): Login Pressed. Do Logic
X-Aviation Activation (url_builder.cpp.54): Transaction ID: FL6g2EECrH
X-Aviation Activation (drm_system.cpp.264): ERROR A: [Unable to read response from server.]

 

I've tried running X-Plane with "OPENSSL_CONF=/dev/null" variable without any success with the activation.
