Thank you to everyone for your replies.

I figured out what was going on. I got that email from Magix, and it had license numbers of several included programs, which I did not bother with. Apparently, I was accidentally copying the wrong number. Duh!

It's like that old saying goes, "almost ain't good enough except in horseshoes and hand grenades!"

One thing I noticed about the new version is that the typeface on the menus are much smaller and more difficult for my eyes to see. I also noticed that the menu seemed quite reduced. I would like to be able to get back the old style menus if possible. If it's okay to piggyback this question in this thread, I'd like of somebody could give me some hints about that.

Regards,
Alan
