It worked for me too, however with quite a bit more effort...
I first copied the activation code, switched resolution to 800x600, still a blank screen, tried to copy, nothing. Switched to 1024x768, ah ha, something in the activation box but still couldn't erase, or so I thought. Even though I thought nothing was happening it was. Make sure the box is empty, paste in your code, switch resolution to something else, my text appeared. Click the "activate now" button, switched resolution to something else and voila...
Thanks for everyone's work on this..
