Activation Code Error
I just purchased this http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PTHDsupp-e from Sweetwater. They immediately emailed my activation code. When I attempt to activate it on Avid.com, I get all the way to the screen where I have to pick Sweetwater as my reseller. After doing so, I then get an error that says "Sorry your product cannot be activated. Please check and make sure you entered it correctly or contact support." (that's paraphrased since I can't get the error to come up again).
When I go to My Products in my Avid.com account, the new products ARE there. But the license does not get sent to my ilok account, assumedly b/c of the above error. If I try the activation process again, I'm now told that the code has already been used and can't be used again. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. |

Sweetwater tech support is on the case - they have been super-responsive and helpful as always...

Re: Activation Code Error
What a nightmare. For the price of this software you'd think I'd get better than this. The Sweetwater tech talked to Avid who said there are technical issues with transferring licenses to ilok right now. No timeframe was given on how long it will take to resolve. So they said they would give me a 90 day license for PT and insert my support code into my My Products. The support code was never added, and the license does not work. When I try and start up Pro Tools it takes me to the ilok activation splash screen and asks me to sign in (even though my ilok is connected to my computer with the 90 day license activated). Then when I sign in to ilok via PT startup, I get a message that says:
"You don't have any licenses in your account or none of the license(s) there have activations available. You do not have any pending deliveries for the license(s) you need to authorize the software. You may need to visit the Avid web site to get a license deposited to your account." This is insane. I bought this software on Friday afternoon. Because I needed it to use on Saturday. It's now Monday night and I still can't open Pro Tools. Unbelievable. |

Re: Activation Code Error
Very sorry for the trouble. I found the support case with Sweetwater about this and it looks like we didn't deposit the full bundle, so I just added that. Please activate the Pro Tools 10/11/12 bundle to your iLok2 and reply back if still having trouble.

Thank you very much for your help, that fixed my issue! I can now open PT. If I would have known you all had such great response here on this forum I would have posted this earlier this afternoon when I started having the trouble! I'm up and running now which is great. Any idea how long this issue with permanent transfer will take to resolve? |

Re: Activation Code Error
Hey Gregory, so your temp license is working ok? Per my 3rd post, I'm still dead I'm the water and can't get PT to start - it just brings me to an ilok activation screen which then gives me the above error.
