1) Start InstallShield 2008 2) Asks if I "Own" it 3) Click on link and enter S/N 4) Says it needs to Register 5) Already registered, and click on the button to complete Registration 6) Left on screen with S/N and Verify button, so repeats steps 4-5
7) Eventually exit this 😎 InstallShield 2008 says it is in a trial and has 14 days to go
9) Try Help > About > Activate 10) Same as steps 3-6 11) End up with Register button in Help > About at end, and still in Trial-mode
As another follow up to this: do ensure that the serial number you enter in the activation box has the dashes in it and isn't just something like 1234567890abcd but rather 123456-123-1234567.
Getting the same problem. Online activation doesn't work. There's no opportunity to load the response text from the offline activation response e-mail.
After sending the activation request by clicking the e-mail icon, I clicked the X button to close the window. I should have clicked Continue at bottom. Not a good user experience.
Also, I've seen 2 other people besides myself spend at least 30 seconds trying to figure out how to proceed to online activation. The buttons that appear at the bottom of the window: "Verify" and "Cancel"? appear to be in a window behind the front window.
