when 'ok' is clicked the next window displays as below

cant help a lot ! registration fails for various reasons
1: It is already registered
2:It is not a legitimate copy
3: The details filled in are not correct
4: the details filled in do not tally with some other check (eg wrong bank card no or out of date etc
5:The registry in your computer has an entry which interferes with registration on line (sometimes an incomplete installation leaves the registry screwed up)
6: It is possible that there are problems at the computer system of the software you are trying to register;
7: virus or malware may prevent registration

My only positive suggestion is to try googling the name of the software followed by the phrase / error codes of the non registering, others may have the same problem.
Good luck
