Complete newbie..HELP WITH 2014 WALLET!

[Jmcconnell]

I am so lost and clueless and I have spent hours researching and I am so confused. I am really hoping someone on this forum can give me some insight. Back in 2014, I (believe) I purchased XRP. I have a phrase, username, and most importantly, a key. Unfortunately I do not know where I originally went to purchase XRP. Last night I went on the worldexchange.net and plugged in my key. I found out that my account was not yet activated. So here’s my question: did I actually purchase the XRP even though I never activated my wallet or does that mean I never had any XRP to begin with?? I could swear I remember purchasing XRP but I’m now unsure if you can purchase the XRP before activating your wallet. Help this novice out!! Thanks!

Should be accessible if you have an old Ripple client. I'm fairly sure the software I downloaded is legit, but I forget where I downloaded it from.
