I have installed Sage Accounts but the serial number and/or activation key are being rejected. Why is this and how can I correct the problem?

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

If you are sure that your serial number and activation key are correct, insufficient Windows permissions may cause this problem. To run Sage Accounts successfully, each user should have full control of the Sage Accounts program directory. 

To correct the problem, the user’s access rights must be amended to give them full read/write access to this directory. 

Note: If you are unsure about how to do this, please refer to your IT Administrator or Windows User Guide. 

If after checking your access rights you are still unable to activate your software, please contact Sage Customer Services on 0845 111 55 55.
