Oddly, this is true. I went through many iterations, including with TTax Support who couldn't resolve it, and the one way that it seemed to finally work is to put the activation code in notepad, copy that and then when you finally get the activation screen up (which you can't type into still), then right click paste into the inaccessible field. It must have somehow taken all the while invisible, then when I closed that box it went to the personal info page. Dumbest thing I've ever seen, they are using 30 year old software to write this. The installshield installer is perhaps even older than that.
