Did you go through the pinned post at the top of this Topic???
It works for 99% of the users who actually encounter an activation problem. The other 1% need to call support and work through it.

No, I had not. First time on this forum. I will look for it now.
Thanks
I just looked at the pinned post. That was what support told me to do. Does not work. There is no orange product key. It is blank.

If you don't have a product key there is not much we (fellow users) can do.

Could this be another flaw or bug in his installed program?

You seem pretty knowledgeable. I followed that procedure and never saw the activation window. Am I an idiot or is this just way more complicated than it needs to be?

Hi I am having the same problems with my Activate mpeg-2 codec. I have been through the post to activate offline manually and done everything that it says to. I put in my orange key and it returned an error ERR_ACTIVATE_INVALID_PK. This is really annoying. I was using this program no problems until now. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

Your second thought is correct. This is way more complicated than it should be. It would be understandable if this happened randomly, but users post here nearly everyday with this problem. I had to register manually myself. I would expect this to be resolved when the patch arrives.
Easy Media Creator...so much for truth in advertising.
