Hi and welcome to the forum

We need more information:

  1. Computer specification and program version, see this topic for what is required and please quote processor and graphics card make/model in full - I would suggest you put this information in your profile signature so we do not have to keep asking for it.
     
  2. Are you getting any error messages - if so what do they say - a screenshot would be best.
     
  3. Do you have a serial number, begins with P3- followed by 5 sets of 5 numbers, or voucher code usually letters and numbers?
     
  4. If you have a P3- serial number did you try copy and pasting the whole serial number including the P3 ?
     
  5. Is the computer connected to the Internet?

I'm also getting an activation error after purchasing Movie Studio 2022 today. I get the green check mark next to the license when pasting it in. If I remove a couple digits, it goes away then type them back and I get the green check mark again so it looks valid on first glance. You can see in my screenshot, I have both green check marks for license and my email.

16GB RAM
256 m.2 SSD, 3TB mechanical drive
AMD Radeon RX 5700XT
Windows 10 Version 21H! build 19043.1415

Answer to question 3 - Yes
Answer to question 4 - Yes
Answer to question 5 - Yes (same computer I'm using to type this to an online forum)

Could it be the still active trial license?

Hi

While the serial number is in the correct format - ie you are getting the green check mark, the error message suggests the issue is the serial number is not the correct one for the product you are trying to activate ie you have installed or purchased the wrong product.

Check the email confirmation for which product you purchased.

Yep, you were right. I had Movie Studio 18 installed not 2022.
