Hi vandido,

What platform are you on? What kind of license did you buy? Can you send a screenshot?
Thanks.

ProgramData is a hidden folder you will need to change the Folder Options so that they are set from Don’t show hidden files, folders or drives to Show hidden files, folders and drives you will then be able to see the missing folder.
