    most probably you are copying a space before the serial? or maybe an extra dot at the end?
    when you get it to work make sure you are running as admin if it keeps asking you toput it in everytime you boot carrara up
    good luck

    HI :)

    Are you using Mac or PC ?

    What OS ? WinXP, Win7, Win8, OSX .......

    Are you logged in as the Administrator. ?

    (you need to have administrator rights to install software and allow the serial number to register.

    If you're copying / pasting the serial number from a web page,......

    Paste the serial into a basic text document ( Not HTML)
    then copy the basic text serial number,. and paste it into Carrara.

    ( make sure you don't copy any blank spaces from the start, or the end of the serial number ).

    If none of that works,...

    type in the serial number manually.

    if that doesn't work,.....

    make sure you have the correct Carrara version, for the serial number you have.. and that you have administrator rights on your user account.

    Serial numbers are product specific,. so, for example : the serial number for Carrara 7 won't work for Carrara 8
    you need to have the correct serial number for the Carrara version you're using, and you need to have administrator privileges to allow the program to install and register the serial number.

    hope it helps
