invalid serial number CFD 2016 (student)

[richardpaulfox1968]

Hi I am trying to activate CFD 2016 (Student License).

The serial number displayed (same as emailed to me) is not recognised and so I can't activate CFD.

I have other Autodesk Software installed ok:

Autocad 2017

Inventor 2017

Nastran in CAD 2017

These installs are immediately  after reinstalling windows.

Please could some one advise me om what to do.

Thanks in advance.
