V8 trial will not render AC3

WTF? when I try to render to BluRay from V8 trial timeline - the window displays inviting me to buy the AC3 encoder. I do have only the trial version of DVDA 4.5Pro installed. Questions:

- do you all have the same?
- will it vanish after entering a non-trial SN?
- I ordered & paid for the V8 upgrade; however I have chosen the boxed version so will have to wait a while (I'm in Poland); is it possible to obtain my SN before actual shipment?

Sony must pay Dolby for the ac3 encoding. It has not been available in earlier trial versions either.
It will be enabled with the non-trial version, but I seem to remember I had to register it separately at one time.
I do not think you can get a SN before the packet arrives. Sony does not know which serial number is in which box until you register it. And they are not giving out SNs just like that. But with DHL or whatever they use, it shouldn't be a long wait, even in Poland.

=======================================================
No need for separate registration. AC3 operation becomes active when you buy... it is not available on the trial packages.
