I know in another thread on this, someone suggested shipping it to someone in US and having them send serial. The package itself is nothing but a dvd with videos on it and a serial number. no install files since it is all done online. Seemes silly for me to wait sevarl days to get a number they could have emailed me that day, but can't complain for $29. You should look up that old thread and see if the "shipping to the US" idea worked.
I believe its like cakewalk. You need to buy a product from an outside supplier, login to the site and register it. After that you can buy at the site store at a discount.
It still doesnt seem right but thats nthe way some companies work.
