Here's what worked. So simple, as these things often are.
By simply deleting the space in the registration box without pasting over the words that appear, i was able to get it to accept it.
Weird.
So, i highlighted the text that showed up in the box. Deleted. Pressed tab twice. Deleted. typed my name. pasted in the reg # and voila!
Arggghhhhhhh, hours wasted.
thanks for trying to help!

I copied and pasted both the Username and Registration Code into Quicktime Player 7 Registration window, and still got the invalid registration code message.
Assuming the key is for the correct platform, the copied and pasted name included any salutation and/or suffix used for your account purchase, and the copied and pasted key itself doesn't work, then contact Apple customer support and explain the problem. If the key was generated improperly and doesn't work, then Apple will normally refund your money and have you repurchase the key. While it doesn't happen very often, the key generation program has been know "glitch" on occasion in the past.
