Hello!
This is Erik Piper from Zoner, Inc. Customer Care.
This download is working correctly and registering correctly. There have been some misunderstandings expressed in this thread.
Registering with your email DOES AND SHOULD:
* Let you into your Zoner Photo Studio 17. (Without it, you can’t start the program.)
* Automatically make it the PRO Edition…
…which you can tell because…
…you see the word “PRO” at the top of the ZPS 17 window. **All activated PRO Editions of ZPS 17 show this. Nothing else does. If you see it,you are 100% using the activated, full PRO Edition.**
Registering with your email DOESN’T:
* Make a “license code,” “registration number,” etc. come to you. ***You do not need a code, and so we do not send one.*** A code is normally needed to activate the program, but the giveaway is already activated, so none is needed, so none is sent.
* Make the “Login” items in the program go away. ***THESE ARE NOT ABOUT LOGGING INTO ZPS 17. THERE IS *NO SUCH THING* AS A LOGIN TO ZPS 17. THESE ARE ABOUT LOGGING INTO THE FREE ZONERAMA WEB GALLERY SERVICE. LOG IN TO ZONERAMA IF YOU WANT – IT’S FREE AND IT *DOES NOT REQUIRE* A LICENSE CODE, JUST A ZONER ACCOUNT. WHICH IS FREE.***
* Do whatever else you’re thinking of that has convinced you that your copy didn’t register. :-)
Don’t base your decisions on the appearance of version 16, since version – being, after all, a different version – looks slightly different in some respects.
