    Your serial number is unique to your purchase, and only valid for one use.
    • You can find your serial number in your registration email. The seller emails it to you after making your purchase.
    • Consider copying and pasting your serial number from your email instead of manually typing it. It will prevent any typos, and make sure registration is successful.
