You can call and activate by phone, thats what I did because our Internet was down. It should give you a number to call.

This may sound like a silly question, but does your system meet the minimum requirements listed on the software box?

Maybe the server is down?

When I got Acceleration, I couldn't activate it until the next day because the server was down.
