You should definitely not post your activation code here.... everyone in the forum can see it!

Your key activation has not reached our activation system.
There have been several cases where a licence key has been rejected for a seemingly bizarre reason

• Sometimes typing the key in has worked where copying and pasting didn't
• Occasionally windows archive extractor corrupts the file
  - try using 7zip instead https://www.7-zip.org/download.html
• Sometimes a punctuation character or accented letter can cause a key rejection
• windows not being up to date can cause this issue
• your firewall may be intercepting the activation request
• uninstalling and then re-installing a second time with a reboot inbetween can also clear this problem up
• most common of all is not running the installer as admin
