      I have tried to activate my educational membership. I’ve entered my college, my name and the serial code. When I  press the activate button it doesn’t work. I tried to do it manually but that didn’t work either.

      When I set it up I chose the educational option before I finished downloading.

      An error message comes up showing activation failed: Educational restriction failed(Requested non- educational, licence requested is educational. Serial number xxx xxx xxx xxx

      Hi,

       

      Thank you for your post.

       

      The error prompt “Educational restriction failed (Requested non-educational, license requested is educational)” is most commonly due to an installation error where you may have ran the “Network” option instead of “Standalone / Educational (Run with a local standalone database)”. Firstly, completely uninstall CostX from your current computer, including selecting ‘No’ when asked if you wish to keep the database. Then apply for a new serial. Finally reinstall CostX with the “Standalone / Educational (Run with a local standalone database)” option, which appears during the installation process.

      Hope this Helps!

       

      Regards,

      Hi,

       

      Thank you for your post.

       

      An educational serial can only ever be activated once, on one computer. Simply apply for a new serial at the following link here then run CostX® again with your new serial.

       

      You can apply for a new one on this web: https://education.itwocostx.com/support/forum/educational-request/

       

      Regards,
