And if you are using Windows XP built in ZIP utility called "Compressed (zipped) folder". Use open and not run. That way you can can see all of the files. Otherwise run will only run Setup and not activate.

It's not a big deal - the downloaded archive file contains multiple programs inside. One of the programs is Setup.exe and the other is Activate.exe.

If you are running winzip - you need to always use the "classic interface" to be able to see all the files inside the archive. (The winzip wizard is more trouble than its worth).

Once you run Activate.exe Conceptdraw will be registered.

As a tip - it is easiest to right click on the downloaded file and select to "extract" the contents to their own empty directory/folder and work with them from there.

I just downloaded the conceptdraw VI standard. But when I put it up, It wants me to register the serial number. I don't have one it's free. Did I do something wrong? Don't yell at me. I'm not a computer wizard. Educate me Please!
