Activation code

Bought DXO Nik Collection. Painful process already, with error processing messages in Safari.
Finally could finalise purchase in Chrome.
When typing activation code, bloody system displays “Checking license” for 4 full minutes then returns an error message code 34 (retry or check your Internet connection, bla-bla).
Really losing time here

This sounds like something that requires DxO’s technical support. Have you opened a ticket at support.dxo.com?
