Hello again,

Perhaps I am doing something wrong, but I still can't seem to download the Scope 4 download.
I got my activtion keys (for 3 boards) and tried to enter them in "Activate serial number page", including the brackets. But I get this message:

"Error : illegal Software serial number. If you are sure you didn't make a typemismatch, then contact our support."

What the hell is going on?? Can someone please explain? Who would have thought so much hassle for a simple download??

I can assure you I have entered the numbers correctly (copy and paste) and these were the numbers sent to me by Creamware by email.

Regards

Could it be you copied some space too after the bracket?

Hello,

Yes, I have done it exactly as was given to me, with the brackets{ }.
I copied and pasted, so there is no way I could have typed something wrongly.

Thanks for the replies so far

I had the same error message and, like alfonso suggested, it has been a trailing blank.

Believe me I have tried EVERY possible combination. With spaces after the brackets, no spaces,I have typed them in manually , so no copy and paste. I have even tried entering the numbers by standing on my head, wearing my underwear inside out, standing on my head and wearing my underwear inside out, sacrificing chickens under a full moon etc...etc....

forgive me if I'm stating the obvious, but you are using the right code for the right board are you?......maybe registering one at a time?

Are you sure you're at the right page? The "Activate software serial number" is completely separate from "Activate Scope 4.0."

Hi,

Yes, I am definitely on the right page and just to be sure I even tried on the other pages too. As I said I have tried EVERYTHING short of sacrificing a virgin to appease the gods.

I have sent an email to Creamware but I don't expect a reply very soon as I am sure they have loads of emails to deal with

2 additional ideas:
the serial number generator lost it's mind due to overloading
since you've registered several boards the order does matter.
imho one can register several boards to benefit from the 50% bonus, but finally the software is registered only to one 'master' board.
As I understand your first post you transmitted all - did you try a single one ?

actually it's just speculation by me as I will stay away from those pages for a while :wink:

good luck, Tom

I only had one problem with Six Strings, all the other plugins registrations went smoothly.
