I had the same problem. I also had an all in one virus protection- optimize, fix product -- symantec installed. I had to uninstall it and turn off any firewalls and it installed immediately and worked perfectly but as soon as I put it back on it would not or identify the product. There are some problems in this software that keeps this from working properly.
I've gone through the manual and put every file where it was supposed to go to work with these products and it doesn't work.
yup
