Andy, I stand corrected should this be inaccurate information, but from what I understand everyone should get an Activation CD irrespective of how the product is activated. Yes, you can, amongst other things, find out how = to retrieve your Authorisation number and locking code from = FSActivate.com. On the home page, press the "Continue Product Activation" button, then = select an appropriate link from there.
