I did a fresh install of El Capitan on my 2015 rMBP but iMessage looks like it is broken beyond repair. I tried everything to get it fixed but it is stuck in inactive state. Found this post on the internet, looks like I am not the only one. Anyone knows how to fix this?

Anyone? I tried logging in with a different apple ID, that works perfectly.
 
I had a chat with one of the Apple guys. Looks like it is a problem with the Apple ID itself. The guy asked me to call the local apple store and ask them to look at the Apple ID.

IT IS BEYOND ANNOYING!
