Title: Why can I import a key for everyone besides one vendor
Post by: 5 on May 31, 2013, 05:28 pm
Please can someone tell me im on a mac......why does it say check sum error when trying to import a certain vendors key. I have talked with him/her an vendor says everyone can import my key.....an I said I can import everyones key besides yours. dont understand an the last guy that ask was like 1 or2 years ago if you search "check sum error".....no one replied to to that post. hope some one can tell me what to do. If I like this vendor business I might keep him as a regular.

Out of the 820 vendor keys that I have, 6 of them fail to import because of a radix or CRC checksum error, so that definitely happens. Maybe you copied it wrong? Maybe there's an encoding problem? This seems to be more common on Macs.

Well, if you're comfortable with it, you can PM me the key and I can test it, see if it's just a problem for you or with the key.
