Activation server is temporarily unavailable
How can I get past this problem on my reasonably old ipad? It does not allow progress
iPad Pro 10.5-inch, Wi-Fi

Hi Rickscar, thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities.
It is likely your activation server is unavailable – because the server that checks to make sure your device can be activated is likely to be down or it could be a SIM problem.
Regardless, this link that applies to an iPhone experiencing the same issue also applies to an iPad which you may find useful.
