FTM Registration
« on: Wednesday 25 April 12 20:41 BST (UK) »
Hello

The answer may already be on here but I can't find it.

My partner has bought the platinum 2012 version of FTM. Included in the package is a 6 month premium subscription to ancestry. She registered FTM and started a family tree but can't get ancestry to recognise that she should have access to their information. It sees her as a guest not a subscriber.

What should she be doing to get ancestry to recognise her.

Many thanks in advance

Regards

Suds

Hi Suds,

In addition to registering the FTM software you also need to activate the 6 months "free" subscription.

If you look under the Help option on the menu bar you'll see that there is a "Activate Ancestry Subscription..." option. Just select that and follow the instructions.

If I remember correctly you'll need to enter your credit card details at the time but won't be charged anything. Just remember to cancel your subscription before the 6 months are up otherwise they'll automatically renew the subscription for you and debit your card at the time.

Ian.

I did that and everytime I log in to FTM it tells me I havn't done it!  But it still worked fine I just had to keep clicking not now later.

Thanks for your response. We haven't done it yet. We'll see what happens later today.
