As I recall, the problem you had was that, after the crash, you somehow
loaded a 5.6 beta license onto that system.  As you may recall, the
message you posted to the mailing list said that licinfo showed:

> CUSTOMER
>          Name: Beta Testing
>          Serial number: 99999999-3
[...]

(See Message-ID: <46EFF577.9010206 at gensoftdes.com>)

Also, there were delays in responding to you because (1) you initially
posted to the filePro mailing list and not to fpsupport, and (2) you
then sent e-mail directly to Ray (who was out to lunch) and again not
to fpsupport.

As I recall, once you downloaded the license file again (Ray made a
new one, just to make sure that it would have a different checksum,
as you had noted something about identical checksums) and put it in
place, everything was fine.

What happened to your original, valid license file, I do not know,
but you apparently somehow overwrote it with the 5.6 beta license.
