Hello,
I bought boxed version platinum edition v8 from futureshop, canada. Am I eligible to upgrade to v9 platinum edition?

What would I require to buy that upgrade or during upgrading software in my computer. I have serial # for the boxed version. I am not sure if I registered my software or not, but it has been activated from that computer.

You can find out if you've registered it by going to My Account / My Software at the top of this page. If you haven't registered it then you can do so from that page. On the other hand, if you hadn't registered it you wouldn't have gotten the activation code that is required to finish the installation and use the software.

If you want to find out whether your serial number makes you eligible for the upgrade or not, go to upgrades under software, choose the upgrade you want, and it will ask for the qualifying serial number. It will tell you if yours is eligible or not.

Oh no!. I don't remember how I activated. Software is fully functional with 4.5 DVDA. i don't remember writing the activation code.

Should I uninstall and re-install? to get the activation code?

The activation code will be different every time you install/activate the software so there's no reason to hold on to it. If you activated online then it was entered automatically and you never saw it anyway.
