Try changing the scaling settings of Windows to 100% if it's not already set to that. You can also try setting your screen resolution to 800 x 600, enter the licence, and then change the screen back to normal.

You might also be able to just move your mouse the blank screen and find the license code box by watching for the cursor to change.

No problen with the cursor as is blinking on the screen

Do you see where you are to enter your license code?

Even with the curser blinking, I cannot enter the licence code. I tried several times but the space remain blank while the curser keeps blinking. Is there another way to enter the code?

Yes, I see where to enter the code
