Hi Storken,
There is a bug in the current version that makes the key validation fail if there's a space at the beginning or end of the name. I changed your registered name (removed the space), so if you grab a new key now it should work!

I'm also getting the Activation key invalid error, I think I may have put a space after my name as well.

Hi Hiromu656, yes you are right. I removed the space so it should work now.

Just bought pyxel edit and the invalid key popped up for me might have done the same thing and spaced it.

Hi QuillDogg

Make sure to follow the activation guide, and copy everything.
My key doesn't work!
The activation key should look like this (including the first and last line):
----BEGIN ACTIVATION KEY----
Some name
c29tZSB0ZXh0IGhlcmU=
----END ACTIVATION KEY----
If the key you are using looks like this:
ABCD-ABCD-ABCD-ABCD
then you need to use it on this page to get the activation key: https://pyxeledit.com/get/humble.php.
