I have been using EMC 9 for years and suddenly started getting this window pop up with the title message. When I attempt to activate it I get an "Invalid product key" error and I can get no further. This was bought directly from the roxio web site.

Dell computer?
Did you use a registry cleaner recently?
Have you tried this manual activation?

Regardless of what I say about computer maintenance, there is no need to defrag a solid state hard drive.

Thanks for your reply.
No I didn't use a registry cleaner, per se. The system is a lenovo desktop that had the system board replaced recently with an Asues board because the lenovo board went bad. But I've actually put a video project together since getiting the new board put in. This was a direct purchase / download from Roxio. Should I still try that manual activation?

Well, you didn't mention that above. Have you signed into your account and used the activation key you put in when you first registered the product?
What have you got to lose?
I'm not sure you are going to get much help from Roxio since that is not longer a supported product. There are two newer versions.

I had to reinstall my EMC9, but when I launch the application "Create a DVD with MyDVD", it wants to activate the MPEG2 codec. I am connected to the internet, but when it wants to activate, it states "Activation denied - Bad Installation"

I believe the actual error is " No permission - Bad installation". Generally occurs due to corrupted activation module during installation. Please try a clean install and see if that helps.
