Hi There.
I have the same problem, I renewed my first class ticket two days ago, credit card has been debited and yet there is a message above purchase at Auran planet stating awaiting permission please check back later. An e-mail to the help desk brought and automated reply that someone will be in touch but so far nothing, and I have been unable to download anything in 2010, TC3, 2006 or 2004.
I have often said on the forums" don't get uptight with the problem it is only a game". However I certainly don't like it when people take money and then don't deliver the service they promise that makes it more than a game. Perhaps I should report the matter to my credit card company and let them investigate Auran's activities. They are one of the biggest bank in the world and they dealt very harshly with someone else who took money from my wife and I without providing the service.
