Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. I don't think you can activate the trial version. What you need to do is uninstall the trial version, get the paid version installer from your account. https://www.stardock.com/support/productkeyretrieval.

Install and activate that version.

Thanks

Hi,

Thank you Basj for the reply. I do not have an account hence the the trial version.

The email address I used was the one I registered on the website as I thought that I might need to be registered in order to recognize the email address.

I however think I must let this go. I have spent 2 hours on what might have been a good solution for me, but not being able to get passed the first dialog is not a good sign. If a simple activation cannot work, I will more than likely run into further problems.

 

Your assistance is appreciated and I regret to have wasted your time.

Thank you
