    Go to Corel.com, and create an account. I usually buy program disks (because it's always a lot less hassle:-) and have never been asked for an activation code, only for the serial number.

    The activation code is usually only used to activate trial versions but (and I'm only guessing here based on my experience with Corel), because you downloaded the program, you'll need to create an account to first activate your copy as a trial ...then, while you're in your account at Corel, you can register the program and it's all good to go.

    Software makers are creating all kinds of hoops for users to jump through to prevent theft of their programs. Don't worry. It's only completely confusing at the beginning:-) And most of us are just happy that Corel hasn't gone to monthly subscriptions like the other big software makers have done.

    You'll need to turn on subtitles to see the instructions. Click the little round gear-like thingy in the lower right corner, click on the dropdown arrow at the right side of the subtitles box, click "On".

    Oh, and before using the program, be sure to install the Service Pack 1 update.
