This message will appear when your code cannot be found on Cambridge One.
Here are some possible reasons and how to fix them:
You entered the wrong code
Sometimes the code is typed incorrectly. This can happen if:
> A letter or number is typed wrong. Use the letter (Q) if you find a similar character because our codes do not include the number zero (0) or the letter (O)
> Enter the full code. You don't need the dashes.
Check the code carefully and try again.
You are using a code from another platform
Some codes are for other Cambridge sites.
Please, check the URL indicated below your activation code. It will always direct you to the platform where your code must be activated.
The code is from the closed Cambridge LMS platform

> A photo of the ISBN printed on the book (the number on the back cover, below the barcode that starts with 978)

Example: aBC1-de2F
Make sure you are entering the activation code when asked to activate your materials. For more information, read: What is the difference between an activation code and a class key?
