This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client is trying to set up WPML on a server with a domain that already has an old website running on it. The client is modifying their Hosts files to work around this.
Solution:
We registered the domain

http://www.racemotos.com

on the WPML account sites and added it to the client's site. We recommend following the documentation for installing WPML, which can be found here: https://wpml.org/faq/install-wpml/. It's important to ensure that the domain registered is correct, as sometimes the key may not be valid if there is a discrepancy.

If this solution doesn't look relevant, please open a new support ticket in our WPML support forum.

My issue is resolved but before closing this ticket I'd like to know what you guys did so I can do it by myself next time and perhaps others can learn from my ignorance.

I went to https://wpml.org/account/sites/ and register the domain hidden link

And then I add it to your site.

This is the corresponding documentation:
https://wpml.org/faq/install-wpml/

Sometimes the key is not valid because the domain registered is not correct.

Now you can add you

Hi Paola,

That's so strange because when I do it (for the third time) I always get the same error message:
Unable to register: Site key not matching

This time I tried registering the site as Production in case this would help but I got the same message.

Note: I added hidden link ... should I try instead with hidden link ?

Yes, the problem is that you are registering a wrong url.

The correct url is hidden link with www

That worked, thanks.
But why was I supposed to use hidden link when I only use racemotos.com as my domain in WP Settings?

Thanks a lot btw.
