Will you give my user information away to other companies?

No! The information that you give us stays here and we will not share anything with any third parties.

  • Registered users can receive technical support.
I can't log in from my computer. Each time I try I get kicked out again. Why?

Unless you check the option to stay logged in until actively logging out, the cookies we use expire every time you close your browser. We do not leave any information on your hard drive or perform creepy privacy invasion schemes.

I am worried about spyware. Can your cookies be used to gather information for other sites?

Product registration

When I try to register, I get a reply saying the serial number is not valid. Why?

Please refer to our product registration help article if you're having problems registering your product.

If nothing else works — our apologies! Please contact Customer Care for assistance.

When I try to register, I get a reply saying my serial number is already in use. Why is that?
  1. Have you already registered this license number yourself? Perhaps to this account, or to a different account?
  2. Have you bought your software second-hand? In that case you'll need to ask the previous owner to transfer the registration to your account for you. See this link for details.
I have upgraded to a new version. How do I register the new version?

If you've bought your upgrade from us in the Online Shop, then we've registered your new license number to your account for you, so you don't need to register it yourself. If you bought your upgrade from a local or online retailer, then you'll need to register your new license number to your account. You can do this here.
