Get error trying to validate Affinity on replacement laptop

[Kis]

I bought  Affinity Photo in June.  

I am not a huge fan of post processing and didn't have a stable internet connection until a few weeks ago so I finally downloaded it on my replacement laptop.  I get an error validating it even though both the email field and the key are the same as stored in my Affinity account and on the email I archived. 

This is extremely disappointing as I did take some shots with methods I had watched tutorials of and as a hard fan of post processing who knows how many months until I even am in the mood again. 

I would attach files but as the most relevant would seem to be my key this seems a rather bad idea.   The email and the key stored in my account are identical and just in case I was missing an error in my email field I even tried pasting that and  it did not help.  

Here I was thinking the only reason I'd need support would be to see if trials I never used on products I never got around to trying could be revisited but instead it's over a product I own.  I may hate post-processing but I think I had solidly hit the outer limits if what Picassa can do for my photos so your help would be appreciated.

While it is entirely clear why the 33rd or so try was the charm this has been fixed. 

My dislike of post processing however remains in place sigh.
