"Failed to retrieve user info" during setup wizard

I have been trying to install my new VeraPlus the last couple of days, but I have a strange issue I can not figure out.

At first, I plugged the unit in to my network, started a web-browser and entered home.getvera.com, and registered an account.
(I am unable to validate my email for some reason, the link in the validation email sent goes to a 404 error page).

Then the device started updating the firmware. Which finished in a couple of minutes, so far so good.
After this, the “Setup Wizard” is started, where I press next and after a short wait I get “Failed to retrieve user info. Click the Back button and try again.”

Any ideas anyone?

I have asked support for help, but no response so far (24 hours).

I see that you have just submitted a Customer Care ticket, I have escalated it with our Customer Care Manager and we will be in touch shortly.
We are sorry that you’ve run into this glitch, we hope that you will love your VeraPlus!
