To begin authorizing a product, click the Authorize and Activate button.
At this point, you may be prompted for the product serial number. If so, type in the serial number, hit ENTER and then press the OK button.
You will be asked to choose an authorization method from the following:
The quickest and easiest way of getting your software authorized.
It requires that your computer be connected to the Internet directly or via a transparent (non-Proxy) firewall.
Uses your Web browser for authorization.
It is intended for aggressively firewalled or proxy-based internet connections – this is often the case in the workplace or at academic institutions.
Generates an Auth Request file, which can be used to obtain an Authorization file on a separate internet enabled computer.
The Authorization file is then used to authorize the original machine.
