Hi springtime96 and Andi,
I have been in contact with support and they have informed me that the validation system has been checked is working fine with no problems at all. I can also confirm I have used it myself and it did work so this is correct. It was also confirmed that the system works 24 hours per day so there should not be an issue with the time you try to install.
Support also offered the following to try and help your problems:
Please try to check the below items before installing:
1) If you have any security program (such as firewall, antivirus, phishing filter, toolbar's blocker, rounter...etc) installed in your system which may block the activation, please turn it off temporarily until the program is installed.
2) Please check that you can connect to www.reallusion.com
3) Please use the steps below to confirm if you have any proxy server?
i) Go to "Start" > "Control Panel" > "Internet Options" > "Connections" tag > Click "LAN Settings..." button
ii) See if you have any proxy server.
4) If you don't have any proxy server and the above items you've done, please try installing the program again.
If after doing all of the above it still doesn't work then you should contact support again so they can examine these problems in more detail.
Thanks for your patience. I understand how frustrating this must be for you both.
