<p data-path-to-node="22"><strong data-path-to-node="22" data-index-in-node="0">A:</strong> Retail codes in Canada often require a <strong data-path-to-node="22" data-index-in-node="42">"Pre-Validation"</strong> from the store's server. If it's stuck on "Invalid," call our TFN at <strong data-path-to-node="22" data-index-in-node="128">+1-855–508–8955</strong> to have the key manually verified against the Canadian database.</p>

<p data-path-to-node="24"><strong data-path-to-node="24" data-index-in-node="0">A:</strong> This is a common browser cache error. It can cause your activation to stay "Pending" because of a tax calculation mismatch. We can help you reset your Central region to Canada.</p>
