If you rebooted IDE after deactivation, why didn't you reboot after activation? plugin should work automatically after activation without IDE restart?

On deactivation it provided options to restart IDE. IDE did not ask me to restart on plugin activation., which in turn I understand means plugin is ready for use without a restart
