Trouble activating Fences 3 from Humble Bundle Lifehacker Software Bundle - Solved

from Stardock Forums

Hi there,

I am getting the "Email address is not valid for the product key" error when activating a Fences 3 key from Humble Bundle Lifehacker Software Bundle i got in 2017. I can't recall if I ever activated it and tied it to an email but as suggested in the threads I found with the same issue I tired all email address that I might have used if I did activate it but no luck so far. I wondering if there is anything else that could be done.

Many thanks.

Use your @hotmail.com address as that is the one you activated it with initially.

I see so I mistyped it. Still no luck with any addresses I can think of ending with @hotmail.com. Could I PM the key and maybe the accounts merged?

I would not suspect that it was mistyped if you do not have a hotmail account.  Perhaps someone you know used it and used their email address?

Hmm now that I think about it that could be a possibility as I have done some giveaways in the past with some of my humble bundle stuff. I guess I should probably buy another license.

I'm having the same issue and I know that I did activate in the past as a fact. But now I tried all my mails and it just doesn't work...

I"m also having this issue.  I have the product activated while dual booting on my win 8 install but am transitioning to 10.  I can't recall what the email is and I've tried a few variations.  I can provide my Product Key from humble if someone from stardock could help me out please.  Thanks for your time.
