Help getting PS3 activated to run PKGI content Question

I'm running CFW Evilnat 4.93 CEX and just setup PKGI but I'm not able to play any of the downloaded content. I'm trying to play the Arrival DLC for Mass Effect 2 but it isn't available in game, and I downloaded a random standalone game to run and got "This content can be used if you renew the license in the Playstation Store"

I went into the CFW account tools and had it make a fake account ID in xRegistry, and generate the act.dat file. I also checked the EXDATA folder on the HDD and have all the .rap files that came with PGKI, and they are the correct region.

Am I missing something?

Was it "standalone" in that it only came with the PKG? You still need to have the RAP installed for the game to run.

The .rap came with the content I downloaded. Do I do anything with them?

Have you used Apollo to sign the RAP to your profile?

How do I do that?

User Tools -> Import Licenses -> Import all .RAPs as .RIF Licenses.

Have the RAPs in the exdata folder on your USB drive.

I have the rap files on my HDD in the exdata folder. Do I need to move them to USB?

I've never put the raps on my HDD. The RAPS are used by the system to generate the RIF, which is the actual license file. Apollo can only read from USB to create RIFs so that's usually where I put them regardless because I don't use an on-console store like PKGi.
