Anybody else having a problem trying to get activation codes from Trymedia? I have been through their help system, responded with the details that they requested and still no email with the activation code. They are responding to the email address I used when I ordered, so I don't have them in my spam filter. They have already charged my credit card, yet still no codes, it's been over a week, I find that kind of service pretty lame. Is Trymedia that busy that it takes them over 5 days to respond to email? I'm getting ready to call my credit card company and cancel the charges from Trymedia.

If you bought the download, just install it. If you made a mistake entering your email address then you're screwed.

Having said that, I JUST received my activation codes -- it helps to tell them that you will call your CC and cancel the charges.

I didn't get the regular email (ordered it two weeks ago), but I got it though asking Trymedia for my payment details - you can get a summary which includes the (well, a) number. Last time I'll buy something through them... -peter

Anyway, issue resolved, will avoid using Trymedia like the plague. > > Last time I'll buy something through them... > > -peter >

Same here - they seem terribly disorganised. Glad it turned out ok this time, but not something to repeat... -peter
