When you get the prompt to activate your software, if you have not run the icon as administrator at that point, close the prompt.

Then be sure to right-click the 3D icon and choose to run as administrator. That way windows can properly store your activation.

Next enter your email address along with the password you originally set up for yourself to activate.

After activating the program should launch for you.

Subsequently you'll be able to use the program normally until a future prompt for activation.

If you have any issue with using these steps to activate, please contact the 3D activation dept. at 800-745-6126, Option 1 for further assistance.
