There’s also a quick workaround if you do not want to go through that process.
The last digit of your serial key will either be a number from 0 – 9 or a letter from A – Z. Using a quick proces of elimination, simply type a number or letter at the end of the serial key until it activates. There is a maximum of 36 possible entries, so it’s likely you’ll hit the correct number or letter before then. It’s not the most glamorous workaround, but its quick and painless and will save you some time from contacting Customer Support if you don’t wish to do that.
