Cannot activate Simulation CFD student

[jake.nicholson6VZ9D]

I have not been able to active Simulation CFD student version 2018. I had been informed it is available for student license. For some reason when I enter the product key and serial number and it says it is invalid. Any help would be appreciated! I currently have Fusion 360 as a student and need to use CFD for a simulation study for a math project.
