New PC and struggling to get out of demo download with receipt

Hi all, I recently upgraded my PC and downloaded OWM, but can't find where to put the receipt number to allow me to use it and upload the file I'm working on.
I've looked online everywhere and the advice I get doesn't match with what I'm trying to do
Thanks

It's been too long, so I don't remember the installation process. Other than looking for an existing thread, looks like you'll have to wait for another response.

I'm not sure what you mean with your question. OWM doesn't have any DRM so you can just install it if you downloaded. Let us know, and you can always reach us via email!

Since you've popped up, Kanchou, I'll piggyback on a post you replied to with another "new PC" issue:
On my Debian 12/13 laptops, OWM refuses to start with the error
OWM: error while loading shared libraries: libtiff.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Debian only includes litiff5 up until the (now EOLed) debian 11 release. Debian 12+ include libtiff6. Any chance of a libtiff6-friendly linux build?
(ETA: I think this may be the first time in 25+ years that I've ever seen something fail on debian because of debian providing libs that are too new. With the emphasis on stability and the slow release cycle, debian problems are normally because of things being too old.)
