My Key Doesn't Work / How to Report a Faulty Key

If your activation code does not work, run through the quick checks below first. If the problem remains, report it to our Support Team as described in our Return & Refund Policy.

Quick Checks

Many activation problems can be solved with these checks.

1Use the correct platform

Make sure you are activating the code on the platform shown on the product page, and follow the activation guide for that platform.

2Use the correct account

Make sure you are signed in to the account where you want to activate the product.

3Check the code

Make sure the code was entered exactly as shown. Some characters look alike, for example 0 and O or 1 and I.

4Check your library

Check whether the product has already been added to your library on the platform.

5Check the region

Check the Regions field and Region Restrictions on the product page to confirm the product can be activated in your country.

Possible Outcomes

What happens next depends on our Return & Refund Policy.

Read the Return Policy

1If the code is confirmed faulty

If the Activation Code is confirmed to be faulty, invalid, already used before delivery, or not in conformity with the contract, we may provide a replacement, repair the issue, provide activation assistance, reduce the price, or refund you, according to applicable law and the circumstances of the case.

2When a refund may be granted

A refund may be granted, in particular, if the Activation Code is proven to be invalid or already used before delivery, or if we cannot provide a working replacement within a reasonable time.

3When a refund may be refused

A refund may be refused, in particular, if the Activation Code was successfully activated or redeemed; if the issue is caused by your incompatible device, account, operating system, platform, region, or failure to follow instructions; or if the Activation Code was shared, published, resold, or misused.

4Your statutory rights

Nothing in the Refund Policy limits mandatory consumer rights under applicable law.
