Getting the same here, it seems the system is not updated yet.
I tried with the www.stardock.com/support serial request but it still sends the WB5 info.

installed SDC, tried to activate it through that but just keeps saying email address is not correct. :-\

wish this kinda thing was properly tested before being released, however i'll patiently wait.

Assume that lots of users are hitting the server all at once.  We see from other posts that registration is working.
Let's see what a little time does.

Appreciate the alert though.
