The lock icon doe's not change to a closed lock, what it does is give the appearence of a botton pressed in.
If it would help when I get to my computer I will post an image of what it looks like pressed(locked).

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
I too purchased Filter Forge when the discounted price was in effect, I also purchased the library backup and the librarian to compliment filter forge. So far I have not heard a peep from them about the library files. I emailed support, sent 2 messages via their contact page, even tried contacting one of the moderators on their forum. So far they have not responded to my attempts at contact nor have I received a download link for the library files. I am not very happy with Filter Forge Inc., I would advise a word of caution if you plan on dealing with them.
I have had very good luck dealing with them. I don't know anything about the library backuo or librarian I didn't do those. Didn't even know about them. At first I bought v3 standard but soon realized my mistake and upgraded to pro then when v4 came out I bought that. Other than the program having some issues with Xara, I am a satisfied customer.

The library and librarian mentioned by Mike are in the email received after purchasing FF, trying to sell you more stuff.
Filter Library Backup is a collection of all the 10,000+ filters from our online filter library in a single ZIP file (29.95 USD)
Filter Forge Librarian is an auxiliary program that allows you to view the filters inside the Filter Library Backup and select specific filters to be installed into Filter Forge. Note that Librarian won't work if you haven't purchased a Library Backup (39.95 USD).
Here is what FF has to say about these:
There are 11125 filters available in the online filter library. Though you can freely download them from the website, we also offer an archive of all library filters at a specific date in a single file – a convenient way to load all filters at once into your copy of Filter Forge.
Filter Library Backup without Librarian
If you choose to get a Filter Library Backup without Librarian you will receive a ZIP archive of all library filters. You will need to unpack it and copy its contents to the folder that stores filters on your computer. This option doesn't allow you to select specific filters for import, so you will end up with over 10,000 filters loaded into your Filter Forge. Since there are no caches in the ZIP archive, Filter Forge may take a bit longer to start while processing the newly-added filters.
Filter Library Backup with Librarian (Windows) Recommended option
The recommended option is a package containing Filter Library Backup with Librarian – an interactive filter browser that simplifies import of filters into Filter Forge. It allows you to preview filters and select specific filters to be installed into Filter Forge. Librarian will automate filter installation (you won't need to copy any files manually); it also generates filter caches for Filter Forge. Librarian is a standalone program that is installed separately and doesn't run simultaneously with Filter Forge.
I did'nt have any problem getting Filter Forge, I downloaded the trial and Digital River supplied me with the license key on the invoice. When I purchase the library backup and the librarian, The invoice from Digital River said,
"The publisher will deliver the product within 48 hours. Please contact Filter Forge Inc. directly with any questions about the delivery of your order" That was 10 days ago, I'm still waiting to hear from them.
Hi Mike,
My answer was for Wizard509 mainly.
Did you try complaining to DR? Maybe they didn't make the purchase connection with FF.
Yes, so was mine.My answer was for Wizard509 mainly.
I've turned the matter over to PayPal. They can deal with it more effectively than I can.Did you try complaining to DR? Maybe they didn't make the purchase connection with FF.

Well maybe I did see that but I prefer to look around and just download only the ones I want.

You might need to be patient FF is a small company not unlike Xara they are also in the midst of two major things one being a new version and the second being a complete re write for a 64bit version which they say may be ready soon. I don't use the backup/Libraian because I have my own system of storing frequently used filters on my hard drive and setting up FF to find that folder. Also it may be worth waiting if you are planning on upgrading to FF5 when it comes out of beta as you will need to upgrade the backup and Librarian inorder for it work with V5
I will pass this on to a contact at FF and see if I can get them to post in this thread
