I had this problem too, sync just needed to be turned on under Chrome. Click the profile icon in the upper right and hit "Turn on sync...". If you wish to sync without sending any data, click "Settings" (on the confirmation dialog), "Manage sync", and  turn off every item on the list. When finished, click back once and hit "Confirm" at the top of the settings page. If you skipped going to settings then ignore this step. Now, refresh the TO activation window and paid mode should activate.

NOTE: The "Manage sync" menu is only active while sync is on or while it's waiting to be confirmed.
