This is covered in the Installation And Activation Guide PDF that came with the program. It also utilizes screen shots, but here it is as simple text

After installing and launching the program the first thing you will see is the Registration Page and countdown screen

1. Fill out the Name and email address fields.

2. click the done button and a “Continue” button will appear. Click it.

3. The Next window appears titled "Step 2". click the blue “Submit Registration” button. (This will copy the registration number to your computer's clipboard.) The Registration web page will open automatically.

(The direct link will redirect to https://www.realbooksoftware.com/registration-5-01/ in case you need that)

4. Scroll down and use the paste command in the "Registration" field to paste the code that was just copied from the program. Then fill out the rest of the form and click submit.

5. An email will be sent that contains your authorization code and a key file.

6. Copy the code from the email (make sure you don't capture a spacebar character before or after the code.) Open the program (if it's not already open and Paste the code into the field. and click done. You might get a "keyfile" error message. Click through.

7. There is one more step. Go back to the email and click on the link to download your keyfile. Unzip that onto your desktop. Make sure that the contents of your file reside on the desktop and is not within a folder on the desktop. Next time you open the program the program will look for the file (not the folder) on your desktop and will import it. There is nothing for you to do on this step other than to properly place the unzipped keyfile onto your desktop.

That's it. You are finished.
