If you experience any problems when attempting to input and apply your Activation Code, please follow through the troubleshooting steps and tips shown below.

If you need help on locating where to input your Activation Code, refer to the Entering an Activation Code page.

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Enter the Activation Code exactly, for example:
    • Include all dashes ( “-” )
    • Use upper case characters
    • Do not include any spaces (check the end of the field if you pasted the code into it)
    • Check carefully for the letter “O” versus the number “0” (zero), and vice versa

  2. Confirm that the code you are using is in fact an Activation Code. Other codes, like Install ID’s, Discount Codes or Prepaid Codes, will not work to activate your software.

    Activation Codes

    General XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
    OEM XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

    NOT Activation Codes:

    Install ID XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
    Prepaid Codes LC2XX-####
    LC2XX-XX-####
  3. Make sure you have installed the correct version of the program. An Activation Code issued for the 2023 software will not work in the 2022 or earlier versions.
  4. If you have an OEM sponsored license, check that you running the correct OEM Edition. Your Activation Code will only work in that OEM Edition of LoopCAD.
