Serial number error

[tarch]

When I tried to access Autodesk's web site I got warning about invalid serial number. This is what shows on About page. I went through regular auhorization process when installing Rac 2008. Anyone have similar issues.

I think this is the same issue I had after upgrading.

Chad Smith posted a link to a fix explanation on this page which worked for me also.

it's about 4 posts down from the top - the link is quite small.

I've been having to send an e-mail to Autodesk w/ the serial number and request code for them to send me the authorization code.

I think the latest build may have fixed that issue. Are you installing the latest build or from the mailed DVD?

I think there are, or were, two serial number issues:

one when installing 2008 originally in order to obtain an activation code, extensively discussed in the forum,

and one when having installed a new build your serial number is set to zeroes...

and I've just noticed it's done it again on my install after the last build :roll:

Guess I'll have to look up Chad's post again for the fix link - must still be a problem.

..in fact here's the link
