When I enter the name and the unlock code Signature Manager tells me Registration Unsuccessful. What do I do?

We have found that Registration fails due to one of the following reasons.

1. Unlock Code is entered into the wrong program

2. Incorrect name and/or unlock code being entered (the unlock code is case sensitive and sometimes users accidentally enter extra spaces at the end)


More information is given below for each of the errors:


1. Unlock Code is entered into the wrong program.

Open Microsoft Outlook. If you have installed the incorrect software, then uninstall the wrong software:

2. Incorrect name and/or unlock code being entered (the unlock code is case sensitive and sometimes users accidentally enter extra spaces at the end)
Ensure that the name and unlock code is typed exactly as shown in your
original e-mail. Pay particular attention to spaces and capital letters.

Also try to actually type it in instead of cutting and pasting. On some
computers we have found that pasting adds some hidden characters.

Very occasionally the following may also create problems.

When typing in the numbers, don't use the number keypad off to the right of your keyboard, because they are sometimes interpreted as different characters and it will not be accepted, although it may look right to you.
