| 1 | Your serial number doesn't match our records... | We couldn't find the serial number you entered in our database. Perhaps you entered one for a different product or a different version of the same product. Or perhaps it was just a typo. First thing to try is to copy/paste the serial number directly from the original email you got from us or your dealer. Check that the product, version number and platform all match up to the product you're installing. You can tell which product the serial number belongs to from the first 4 characters. E.g. TR3M = TransType Pro version 3 for Macintosh; TT2W = TypeTool version 2 for Windows; FG4M = Fontographer version 4 for Mac; FS5W = FontLab Studio 5 for Windows. Still can't get it to go?

| 1025 | ...previous license file exists or you don't have rights to write... | We tried to write the new license file to your computer, but either we found that there was already a license file there or we were unable to write to that folder because you weren't logged in under a username that has permissions to write to that folder. So first look in the folder and see if a license file (ending in .lic) already exists. If so, delete it (or just change the extension to .bak) and try again. If you don't have write permission for the folder you should logout of your present user name and then log back in as admin or some other user name who has write permission for the folder. Then try the activation again. The folder is "Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences" on Macintosh or "Common Application Data" (CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA in Microsoft terminology) /Fontlab/<Specific Product> folder on Windows. For example, "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Fontlab\Fontographer". If you can't see the folder on Mac it may be because the OS is hiding it. In the terminal, type chflags nohidden /Users/USERNAME/Library, where USERNAME is your local username. The Library folder will become visible and accessible. |
| 1030 | Unable to connect to the activation server... | For some reason our activation server can't talk to your computer. Looks like either you have a firewall, your ISP is down, our server is down, or something in between is not working. Please make sure your internet connection is working. If you're reading this page that probably means it is. Give it another try. If all else fails send us an email to orders @ fontlab.com and we'll see how we can fix it. Be sure to include a copy of your error message.
