Actual download times may vary depending on internet traffic, local gateways, router configuration, local LAN configuration, and local system speed and capacity. If you already have an account, please sign in as shown in Figure 1. Otherwise, please select Create Account. You will be requested to select a user name, select a password, and provide an email address. When you have completed the form, you should see a dialog box that indicates that a License was correctly generated and installed. X-Ref Target - Figure 1
