Unable to receive activation code for Movie Edit Pro 16

I purchased this product some time ago and I am trying to activate my copy on my new PC. It tried to activate at the Magix website and I enter my serial # and my PC ID and it returns the error to "try again later".. late never comes and it never gives me an activation code. When I try to activate using the menu in the software that takes me online, it keeps asking me for an order #. I purchased this years ago and I don't have an order #. I have all my discs, my manual, my serial #, my PC ID, but I still cannot activate it.

Hi

If the OS is Windows 10 then MEP 16 is not compatible with this version of Windows, the not communicating with the registrations servers is the first issue with MEP 16 you encounter and is a result of Internet protocols that have been succeeded by newer more secure protocols, the older protocols can be enabled - see here for details how.

Further issues you may encounter are - any DVD/Blu-Ray burner may not be recognised, graphics hardware error messages and or compatibility issues.
