getting liscense authorized and checked off in my Cubase Le drawdown menu?

Hi,

Having a fit getting the stuff working (authorized) on my machine!

Using windows XP/explorer 8? Its supposed to work... but I'm not real good at computer file operations so I must be doing something wrong.

I purchased the Auto tune from Guitar Center testerday and purchased the iLok from them seperately.

The auto-tune software is on my pc and the ilok account established but there is a glitch somewhere to make the software know that the ILok will enable it to run.

I can't even get the Auto tune's demo version to cooperate and run for the 10 day trial period???

Anyone have any ideas...The Auto-tune people are on holiday untill after the new year so my request to them is deferred till Jan 3rd.

BTW: when I boot up my pc with the ILok installed it kills my drivers for the sound and I get no sound untill I remove the iLok and reboot the computer? A bit scary for me~

I'm pretty well lost on this...

Merry Christmas all~

 peace,
