If you are seeing an error code "5008 - Invalid Activation Data" when trying to activate, these are the most likely causes:
You’re entering the incorrect License ID. The License ID usually begins with a “6,” while the Customer ID typically starts with a “2.” Please ensure you don’t enter your Customer ID instead of your License ID.
Alternatively, you might have installed the wrong version of Fire Studio. If you have a license for Fire Studio 7 and attempt to use it on Fire Studio 6, you’ll encounter an error. Conversely, entering a Fire Studio 6 license on a Fire Studio 7 installation will also result in the same error.
You may have mistakenly entered your customer portal password instead of your license password. Ensure you use the license password provided specifically for activation, as these credentials are distinct from other account passwords.
Ensure that you have saved all your license activation numbers and passwords in a secure location. These credentials will be essential if you need to reinstall the software or transfer your license to a different computer.
Ensure you are entering the license password exactly as provided during activation. Mistakes in using a customer portal or other unrelated password can result in errors.
