From start to finish the entire purchase, install and validation process took less approximately 10 minutes.
It would have taken less time but I stumbled at the following steps:
1. Always fill out the ordering form *completely*. (I left important information out the first time)
2. It wasn't immediately apparent where I needed to go to download the Websubscription Installer. (I knew... so easily tracked it down but others might not. Perhaps I just missed it but a link to the Latest Info forum area might be useful)
3. My laptop seemed to lose its internet connection for a few seconds during validation. A:M said 'internet connection not available'. This only delayed me seconds as when I launched A:M again it connected and validated immediately.
And... thats about it. I'm ready to take A:M v15 on the road.
I have one regret:
I should have thought to screen capture the whole process to share with others.
My original plan was to websubscribe my laptop in another month or two but the need compeled me this morning.
Ah well... I'll try to remember that next time.
Until then... happy splining.
Of special interest to some: I am experiencing absolutely no video card problems with A:M in Vista on my laptop.
Thanks Hash for making the subscription such an easy process.
