Bought, can't activate
Hi,
So playing some EHM 2007 earlier, I said "I wonder what's been going on with OOTP's Hockey Sim" that I've sadly neglected to keep up on. Came here, saw pre-order and beta. BAM! Ordered. Downloaded the beta. Went to imput the activation code I received from the store and e-mail, and I constantly get the Activation Error: "The game could not be activated, please try again in a few minutes" Okay. I've been trying for half an hour now with no luck. Any idea/help? Activation servers down or something? Any info/help you folks can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. |

And now that I typed this up, it finally activated. Thanks anyway. Looking forward to testing out this game. I'm a hockey addict, and a sim addict. EHM was my favorite, hoping this one blows it away!

What exactly is happening when you try to activate? There was a burst of sales on the weekend that left the activation server overloaded a couple of times, which is what the original poster probably experienced, but if it's been going on for months, that's something else entirely.

Time is your best friend here...
A few people have had this problem during the weekend. Most of them jst waited a bit and it was accepted sooner or later.

Side note: when you enter your serial code do you have to include the XXXX-XXX-XXXX dashes like that in between or do you just type in as XXXXXXXXXXXX? |

Yes I believe so including the FHM2014 at the beginning part. Also be careful with the CAPS and lowercase.

It looks like it tried to activate then it gives me an activation error and tells me to try again later. Trying again gets the same result.

This has been going on for a few months now, i copy and pasted from the email containing the serial number so thanks but i think it's a bit more then just including the - This is the 2nd computer i installed it on but that shouldn't be an issue as i thought we could install on 2 computers. Would i have to release the key on the old computer before i could use it on this one? I have no idea if that is even the issue, just thinking out loud here as i havn't really looked into fixing it as it's been in alpha and i just forgot about it. |

Try right clicking on the FHM icon and "run as admin" and license.
This has worked for me in the past, not always, but more often than not. |
