Help -"I can't find the activation code....."
Although the 'activation code' can normally be found on the 'payment received' confirmation email, its always best practice to use your SDL account for all licensing/orders and downloads.
So after you have successfully installed the software and now want to activate, access your SDL account and click on the LICENSES TAB and locate your available license-
Simply copy (CTRL+C) the activation code. Now open SDL Studio 2017.
Now paste (CTRL+V) the activation code in the box provided.
Your machine is now ready for initial set up.
