A:Answer I purchased it in store, but have yet to open and use it. The Best Buy store clerk explained that there is a online website/link I must go into and it will ask for my student/college email address. I believe he said they will send another link to the students email address which you have to click on to register the product before use. Fyi, I paid the student price in store and didn't have to show proof, but you will need the student email to register and/or use the product.
