5.0.15 required licensing.

As I have said many times, I and my clients are not having any issues with
the license manager.

When one of my clients installed a new server and upgraded to 5.8, a new
license was issued quickly.  There was no hassle to install the new version
and get the service running.  As the startup file points to the address of
the server, I only had to make a minor change in that file to point at the
proper license.
