I think the upgrade serial is your old serial number.
There should be another serial number which waswritten BEFORE the upgrade serial number.

I have tried both numbers from the bill already , but each time I get the message the serialnumber is wrong.

When you are copy and pasting, you might be adding an empy space before and/or after the number.

Well, the quality of the traced image is not very convincing

I've got decent results with the image trace feature, I guess it depends on your source image and the parameters you set in the trace. I've tried an image( jpeg) of a butterfly that looked good and then tried a doodle I made in CORAL PAINT. In the manual, it says the trace works better with good solid strokes than say a pencil sketch. It might just take some playing with to get what you want. At first, I was a little disappointed in the character wizard, but the more I thought about it the more I can think of a use for it. While you can't edit the different bodies directly, you can make the important parts like head/hair, eyes, nose etc... which are really what makes a character unique. For the body, the lack of different clothes would be limiting, but I don't think even if AS came with a bunch of different clothes and bodies, that I would use them often as the quality of the default characters don't fit my style and I would spend more time tweaking than anything else. The best use I see for it would be as an action library. Creating a bunch of actions is really easy and I would use the default mannequin, set to roughly fit the figure I want, then swapping out the parts for my own. This way I could make actions that can be shared with different figures each using the mannequin as a base. At least that's my theory, first tests seem promising.
