Hello,
I have the same problem but can't resolve it using the steps outlined. Let me first described my situation. I am using Win 7 Ultimate 64. I had Total Protection subscription that was about to expire. A friend bought me a Total Protection 2012 CD. So I install the new subscription from the CD instead of renewing online. Here are the step I went through:
1. Deactivate my current subscription online (only couple days left till expiration)
2. Run MCPR.exe to uninstall Total Protection
3. Restart Windows
4. Install new Total Protection from CD
5. Activate - However here's where it's stuck: the activation window is churning forever. And there is noway to close this window either!!!
I retried all steps with Custom Install with Anti-Spam only like Prakash's instructions to no avail. It is getting very frustrating.
If you have a solution for this please help.
Thank you.
Hung
