Re: IBM Rational Developer for i 9.9 is now available!

Like the switch from 9.6.x.x to 9.8 you need a new activation kit. The trial should be running for 120 days without one. 

When the license window pops up, make sure to simply cancel it, and don't do anything. Simply install the activation kit via "Install new software ..." - the license screen is for "floating license" only.
