    Hi, Akay87

    Welcome to Autodesk discussion group, we will help you with your problem.

    As what you mentioned the SN and Product Key not matched, does this happens during your installation?  If this is the case, then I have some suggestions for you:

    1  Please make sure to close any input method when you enter the SN and PK.

    2  Please make sure to use the correct SN and PK, you can refer to this solution to find your SN and PK.

     

    If above not solve your issue, Could you please send your error image for understanding your problem?
