I dont know, if this is something new, but, I found no reference to it here:

I had to activate an old 7290 with Software 3.8. Device refused activation because the of a previous IT policy. A security erase did not help.

I launched the Blackberry Desktop manager,
clicked on the safe and restore option, advanced.
scrolled down to the file "policy"
deleted this
rebooted the Device

and, was able to sucessfully activate the Blackberry.

I dont have a second BB to try this out again, so I cant tell if this really works in all cases.
