Default Forscan help

Installed the sofware on my laptop. Requested the activation code and got 13 lines of code. Copied all but the first line header that was, [HKEY_CURRENT_USER|Astech\forscan]
Entered 14 lines of code into the field, and they said it was an invalid code. Left off the header and it was also the wrong code. What am I doing wrong?

Check your email again mang. My activation code was not 13 lines of code. Lol. It's a simple key in this format.

XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

Just numbers and letters.

There is nothing in the string of numbers/letters that they sent that resembles four sets of four

Forscan activation code doesn't require any messing of the registry which this line....

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER|Astech\forscan

...seems to refer to. You sure you not getting scammed somehow?

Who is the email from? Doesn't sound like anything I ever received from Forscan.

This is what my email looked like....

It wasn't an email, it was a download link. I copied the 14 lines of gibberish into my clipboard, then printed them out.
