•

Ensure that you are entering the activation code correctly, and that it is in the format XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX (4 sets of 4 characters).

•

If you or someone in your organization previously activated InstallShield on another machine, you must first return your InstallShield license on that machine through a full uninstallation before it can be activated on the new machine. To learn more, see Uninstalling and Reinstalling InstallShield.
