Harrydude Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I'm getting the exact same message. Installing on a Mac with Boot Camp and Win XP SP 3. I entered the Product Key exactly as shown - there are no 0 or O characters so I know that's not the problem. I have entered it at least a dozen times, re-read it, asked my wife to re-read it - still no luck. Ideas? Oh - and why is it when every place that supports home software offers phone support it's only available when home users aren't home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Harrydude, I have versions 9.0.554 and 10.3.104. If yours is one of those, you could send me a PM [private message] telling me the version number and product key, and I'll check it by trying to install from my disc with your key. I am one of the volunteer Gurus here, so I'm not offering this in order to pinch your product key. Regards, Brendon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very opposed to sharing my product key - not on legal or moral grounds, but because as nervous as Roxio is about people pirating this software, they'll likely tell me that you successfully activated it and I'm now completely out of luck. I'm not sure if the problem is with Roxio or with Wal-Mart. Roxio wants us to scan our receipt and e-mail it to them - we finally got a response to the email we sent on 2 June. What are the odds you can get someone's ear up there at Roxio and have them actually serve their customers with more than one e-mail per day?

Brendon Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Brendon, I appreciate the offer. I'm very opposed to sharing my product key - not on legal or moral grounds, but because as nervous as Roxio is about people pirating this software, they'll likely tell me that you successfully activated it and I'm now completely out of luck. The installer only needs to be run to the point where the key is accepted, and I can do that without an Internet connection, so "Your number vould be qvite safe vizz me [heavily accented]" However I won't try to persuade you to do something that makes you feel uncomfortable, and I don't feel bad that you're reluctant. One thing you might do, is to try entering the key with letter O instead of zero, and letter I instead of L, and vice-versa - just in case you've misread anything. I'm not sure if the problem is with Roxio or with Wal-Mart. Roxio wants us to scan our receipt and e-mail it to them - we finally got a response to the email we sent on 2 June. What are the odds you can get someone's ear up there at Roxio and have them actually serve their customers with more than one e-mail per day? If you've got a response from Roxio Support, that's progress. A response within a few days is good. I have no influence in Roxio/Rovi, so there's zero odds there I'm afraid. My offer to do that quick private check on your key still stands if you later reconsider. Cheers, Brendon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadillac Mike Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I suspect some fat fingers when typing the product activation key. Wait until you get a program with a 64 character key!! Brendon, I don't remember NEEDING an active internet connection to get this installed. And as i posted elswhere, if the AV is off so is the internet.

Brendon Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Brendon, I don't remember NEEDING an active internet connection to get this installed. Hi Mike, That was never suggested. I never said an Internet connection was needed. I was reassuring Harrydude that I could do what was necessary to check his key without being connected, and he didn't have to worry. I see that the IPBoard software has shifted Ogdens' post up to position #2 in the topic now [confusing, isn't it!] so someone must have muddled up the key number.
