Hi @Jim_39 ,

Same thing happened to me when I was trying to activate. I was taking too long in the process, i think I was also going back to the previous screen/page. The activation pages do not like this and times you out.

Was your credit card charged? If so, try to create a Self Serve account.

If not charged, wait the hour and try again. I am sure it will go through. 🙂

Welcome!

@Jim_39  If you received that error on your second attempt then you need to wait about an hour between attempts so that the existing session lock clears.

If that error appeared during your first attempt check the number again and if it was correct then hit the ? bottom right corner and submit a ticket to PM for help.

@Jim_39 @Hi try clearing your cache reboot your computer and try using chrome ingognito mode you may have to wait 50 minutes if you made to many attempts
