Thanks for the quick response. I already have the activation text, "MGU7carauto"—I sent that to him ...

Four days isn't unusual for that channel — Friday-to-Tuesday crosses a weekend, and these requests are usually handled in batches by whoever runs the tool, not by a support desk. So I wouldn't write it off yet.

A few things worth checking while you wait, because they're the usual reasons a request quietly stalls:

  • Make sure the txt went out unedited. If you opened it, retyped it, or pasted it into the body of the mail instead of attaching the file itself, the HW string can pick up a stray character or a line break and the request gets binned as unreadable. Re-send the original file attached, not inline.
  • Same subject line, same address as printed in the file. I don't have visibility into that mailbox, so I can't confirm anything arrived — only that the file is the intended channel.
  • Check the HW ID hasn't changed. Run the tool again now and compare to the string in the txt you sent. If the tool is showing a different value than Friday's file, your old request is dead on arrival and needs re-submitting against the current one — NIC swap, dock change or a Windows update can move that fingerprint.
  • Spam folder. The reply comes back from a free mail provider, which a lot of mail hosts happily filter.

One more: stop re-posting the activation request in the thread — from what I can see it doesn't reach the generator, and you're only exposing your own identifiers. If the file contains the full HW string, that's worth keeping to the private channel.

On the "MGU7carauto" naming — is that the archive and executable name you're running, or the string the tool prints in its title bar? And when you re-open the tool today, does the HW ID field match what's in the txt character for character? That tells us whether it's a waiting problem or a fingerprint problem.

Should I then safely delete the activation text from the forum and stick to sending it privately?

Should I then safely delete the activation text from the forum and stick to sending it privately?

Yes — pull it. There's no upside to leaving the HW string sitting in a public thread, and the private channel is the one that actually reaches the generator anyway.

Two caveats worth knowing before you hit delete:

  • Deleting the post doesn't un-ring the bell. Anything that was crawled, quoted by someone else, or mirrored elsewhere stays where it is. Removing your own copy just stops further exposure from this thread. If you can't edit or delete it yourself at this point, ask a mod (Bin) to pull the post rather than leaving it up.
  • Deletion doesn't invalidate a code either. The binding lives in the licence server against your fingerprint, not in the forum post. So if a code does get issued against that string, whoever has a copy of it can still use it. The only real remedy after exposure is a fresh fingerprint — and that only works if the tool lets you re-generate against a changed HW ID, which means it comes with the same wait you're in now.

Practically, I'd do this: delete or get the post pulled, keep the original txt file untouched on the machine, and continue waiting on the mail you already sent rather than deleting anything from that side. If nothing lands by end of week, re-send the same attached file once with the stamp date in the subject — a single polite follow-up in the same thread of the mail, not a new one.

Going forward, the only thing that ever needs to go into a public post is the build name and the version. Username and e-mail are borderline; the HW string and the txt are private-only.
