    As mentioned in at least one of the comments on your "review" section for this software, during installation, I was asked for an email address and a registration code.

    Having no such code, I clicked "Later" and the software appears functional, but for how long?

    There was no registration code in your readme file in the program's zipfile.

  2. If it does not ask you to enter registration details when it's opened then it's activated.

    You have to run the "activate.exe" file again after you have installed the software. Then it seems to activate ok.

    copy the files to a folder on your desktop and try again starting with activate.exe. For some reason my vista computer won't activate properly if i run it from the original .zip file

    I found, closing the program down once I'd activated it for the second time (I activated before installing then activated again after it had been installed)worked. After activating it for the first time it showed it was still theunregistered version, ut on closing it down then restarting it, it was registered. (It says so along the top bar.

    the same procedure as WRabbit specifies is okay for Vista HP :
    closing the program...activating 2nd time...starting program...everything is as it should be :)

    That's what I did as well, and now it's fine!

    Yep.You're right about that Steven and Gray.

    Even on Windows XP activating before the setup of the program didn't work.Running activation once the program was installed and closed down, worked.

  10. Well I run Vista HP 32 bit.

    SP1.

    I installed then closed install opened program, closed program.

    I then ran activation, closed that then opened program and viola, works fine.

    From my first post I thought the user had activated already and was expecting a drop down registration form.

    If registered correctly does not ask for details to be entered.
