How to disable activation lock on my iPad2

Once per several years my iPad2 requires reactivation. I always spend several weeks to activate it again. Again, I cannot use it, because it requires activation, but shows me "Could Not Activate iPad". What to do to activate it again, and what to do to disable this Apple "service" of preventing me to use my device?
