My User Name / License Key combination doesn't work!  What do I do?

The reason a User Name / License Key combination may not work is that it has been mistyped.  Please re-enter the information exactly as it was provided to you in the e-mail message you received following your purchase.  Capitalization is important and because the software evaluates your information in a case-sensitive manner, you must enter it exactly as provided.

If, after you try again with attention to case-sensitivity, you still cannot enter your License Key, please contact us using our online Tech Support Request Form
