Default PT9 Crossgrade from MP 8.0.3

So I'm trying to activate protools 9 crossgrade from M-Powered and I keep getting this message:

"There are no qualifying upgrade products on this iLok account. Please try another iLok account"

I have had an avid account since the 001 days, Recently I registered my Fast Track but it doesn't show up on my avid account.

Ilok account registration succesful (brand new ilok)

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Have you registered and activated your Xgrade with Avid? You have to do that to have them deposit a license in your Ilok account.

Any ideas on how to do that? My apologies for not being as specific as I could have. The said error message pops up on Avids "Activate & Download Your Product" Screen. My Ilok is definitely registered now, I can log in and see it right there in front of me. Is there maybe a way to register the Fast Track with Ilok? That seems a little redundant to me, since you don't actually have to have an Ilok for the running of Fast Track, Pro Tools won't start without it.

Look at this link. I doesn't matter if you did not buy it from Sweetwater...the procedure is the same.

You have to have an AVID account (register with Avid) and you ACTIVATE the software in order to get the license deposited on you ILOK account.

Hope this helps ya.

Did this step by step, same error. Do you know if Fast Track is supposed to come with a software key or registration?

The Fast Track interface Comes with M-Powered Essential 8, Not M-Powered 8.
No software key or registration comes with the Fast Track. A $149.95 Upgrade to full M-Powered 8 (which requires an ILok) is required Before the Crossgrade to Pro Tools 9 can be completed. I don't know if I'm an idiot or just miss informed.
