Knoll Light Factory Pro: [PS-177] The "Done" button does not activate (grayed out) when registering.
If the “Done” button does not activate after entering your serial number, please try these troubleshooting steps.

- Make sure that you have downloaded the correct product and product version.
- Product serial numbers are not interchangeable.
- Example: Magic Bullet Looks is often confused with Magic Bullet Quick Looks, as are as Instant HD Advanced and Instant HD. Other products may have similar names.
- If you have a serial number for one product version, but downloaded a different version of that same product, this other product version will not accept your serial number.
- Example: Shine 1.5 will not accept a Shine 1.0 serial number. Particuar 1.5 will not accept a Particular 1.5 seri; and so on for other products.
- If this is the issue, please go here to shop available product upgrades.
- Be sure your serial number is input exactly as shown when it was given to you.
- Enter the correct characters in the correct order without any mistakes.
- The letters (if any) must be capitalized, not lowercase.
- If you are copying and pasting the characters into the fields, try typing them out or vice versa.
- Be sure you are logged in as the Administrator. Close all other programs (including virus protection) and try disconnecting your system from any network connection.
- Windows Vista only: Please follow these installation instructions if you are having trouble installing and/or serializing: Windows Vista 32-bit & 64-bit installation help.
- Windows only: You may try serializing the product from the registry. Please only attempt this fix if you are comfortable doing so.
- The serial number string is stored here within your registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Red Giant Software\[product]\[host]
- Right+click on "serial" and select "Modify". This will open an "Edit String" window.

- Enter your serial number without spaces or dashes in to the "Value data" field, then click "OK" when finished.
- If you experience the same results after editing your registry, then do this: Delete the applicable registry entries, re-install the product, and then attempt Step #7 listed below.
- Mac OSX only: Please make sure that all Sharing & Permission privileges for each plug-in's preference file(s) are changed to "Read & Write" for all Administrators and Users on the system. They should not be set to “Read Only.”
- Open the directory as shown below: MacHD\Library\Preferences

- Find the proper preference file and click Cmd+I or Right+click and select "Get Info."
- Our preference files are named using the following format: com.redgiantsoftware.[product].[host].plist
- Locate the Sharing & Permissions menu.

- Please make sure that all privileges are changed to "Read & Write" for all Adminstrators and Users on the system.

- Some of our products have more than one preference file (i.e. Magic Bullet Looks). There is a preference file installed for each host application that the product was installed into. Please be sure to check all the preference files to make sure their privileges are set correctly.
- If you experience the same results after changing your Sharing & Permission privileges, then do this: Trash the applicable preference files, re-install the product, repeat Step #6 and then attempt Step #7 listed below.
- Input your serial number into the registration menu during installation and from within the host application (if available for your product).
