Well, maybe due to the fact that I stayed up all night to download and install made me have a brain fart. I just recopied and paste the serial number into Real Band and it's all working now. I don't know how I even got the serial number from before in the first place. I could have sworn I copied it from the order page then placed into Word to save for later and somehow became a whole other set of numbers.
All seem fine and dandy so far I'm not sure about the VST integration though. Doesn't fit how I make my music, but maybe something will inspire me later.
