The issue was that the data for the MAC Serial Number was 
inadvertently typed into the Domain Name field of the license manager. 
That was quickly corrected shortly after the email was received, even 
over the weekend, and the corrected license, which was emailed to the 
customer, worked fine.  It was not a case of 0 licenses.  Most 
'stories' are similar.
