Cannot activate across the internet using Internet Explorer v10

Legacy KB ID: 5009

Question

Why can’t I activate across the internet when I use Internet Explorer v10?  I can access other Reckon pages an internet sites.

 

Answer

Turn off Protection Mode on Internet Security

 

The Issue

Internet Explorer v10 contains new elements that conflict with the Reckon Activation Server. 

By default the Internet Security option “Protection Mode” is switched on.  This function in Internet Explorer ver.10 now prevents your PC connecting to the Reckon Activation Server.

Protection Mode is a good security feature.  We suggest turning this feature off only to activate your product and then turn it back on to maintain your level of security.
