 * I have PHP 5.4 installed (even checked my .htaccess file to make sure) and this
   will not install. The error I am getting says the activation failed because I
   do not have PHP 5.3 installed.
 * Every other help/support ticket I see states the issue is resolved, but with 
   no discussion on how it was resolved.
 * Help! Please. 🙂

 * Hi, Hopefully I can help you, but in order to proceed I need more information.
   How exactly did you verify your PHP version based on your .htaccess file? Can
   you create a simple php file and just either put `<?php echo phpversion()` or`
   <?php phpinfo();` to verify the php version. Many shared host services (bluehost,
   hostgator, and godaddy) offer PHP 5.3 or 5.4 but by default have 5.2 active. 
   After verifying this we can hopefully move on to further troubleshooting options.
