why doesen't my product key work?

Is this a guessing game?
Because you're not turning it in the correct direction?

Because you didn't enter any product key.
Because you entered the wrong characters.
Because you are using a product key for the wrong product (i.e., a different
one).
Because you are trying to use one that you got off the Internet (i.e., you
are trying to pirate the software - and instead got burned).
Because it is a demo version of the product and its trial period has
expired.
Because you are entering a product *code* that you used a utility to extract
from the registry rather than the product *key*.
Because ... well, I have more informative posts to respond to rather than
waste more time guessing what "doesn't work" means for you.
