I hit "use another method" since entering my serial number didn't work... Its already diffucilt enough having to put the "IGNORE_FAILURE=YES" into the setup...   There are other programs exactly like autocad and inventor where I DON'T have to deal with all of this, horribly for me, I have no choice.    Thanks for making me fail my class. Really appreciate being ignored.  <HR /></BLOCKQUOTE> 1) Being that this is your FIRST post, I don't understand how you can complain that anyone here ignored you. <IMG src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/161736i38CEA9062D8136CC/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&px=-1" border="0" alt="cohansha.png" title="cohansha.png" width="282" height="169" /> 2) If you post over in the Installation and Licensing forum, I'm sure you'll get all the help you could ever need.  But be sure to remember that he majority of the people on these boards are volunteers and are VOLUNTEERING their time and efforts to help you and anyone else that asks.   3) you say this occured over the course of weeks.  So you should've asked for help sooner.   4) My guess based upon the limited info you've given is that you've mistyped the serial number.  i.e. instead of the Number 1, you entered a lower case L or some similar issue.
