Waited a bit, got the email, tried again - Everything worked! I've wanted GooglePro forever - and now I have it - to the point of almost ponying up the $400 of my hard earned money for it.

A really nice post-christmas present from Google.

Love that error message (I'm getting it as well).

"can not be completed due to We're sorry."

I might start using that as a reason.

Registration failed for me with a message suggesting such remedies as trying a different email address. Punched in a gmail address and it worked. Perhaps coincidentally.

Same with me. It failed with that error when I tried with my fastmail email address. Switched to a gmail one and then it worked.

I entered my primary gmail address and got the error. Then I entered my secondary gmail address and it worked.
