Issues registering new flash drive

[jonF]

I 'm sure I made mistakes on how I did this .  So I need help in fixing what I messed up. 

right now I have an invalid key warning

 

 

I have a new flash drive and it is working fine

 

Clicking on registration key manager

I have this message

"The registered GUID does not match the USB Flash boot device GUID"

I clicked replace key , then installed the new key that I got in the email. 

That didn't work so I went back and following the original instructions and replaced the prokey file from the config folder to the one in the  new drive config folder

still didn't work.

I'm pretty sure I screwed up the right way of doing things. 

How do I fix it ? 

Thanks

Should've worked.  May have to reboot though.

Maybe just me, but I'm not following exactly what you did here.

i can imagine it's confusing

 

i didn't reboot after installing the replacement key and thought the reason it didn't work was that  i didn't  follow instructions right. 

so then i reread the instructions and did what i thought i was supposed to have done originally which was manually copy original pro key file from my original drive  and manually put it in the config folder of the new drive . replacing the key that was in the config folder of the new drive with the key from the old drive.  rebooted it .

 

still not working.  what should i do? thanks!!

Now I tried getting another replacement key and got this

 

Sorry, an error (403) occurred registering USB Flash GUID ________________________100432

The error is: GUID '0781-_________________100432' is already registered to another user

You won't be able to get another key for that stick, as one has already been issued for it.  Drop the one that just showed up in the email into /config and reboot.
