We purchased at Costco too and couldn’t download because we have a MAC … tried using the activation code online but not working either. Can we return or is there a way to make it work online? Thanks!

OK...found the details:

Whatever works.....perhaps we should suggest both.

But a Windows Rt-Click on the TTX icon...and "Run as Administrator", without messing with a possible high firewall setting should be your first try.

Otherwise try:

1) Temp shutdown of Firewall ? (McAfee mainly?)

then

2) Run As Administrator?
