Michael, Check this out From Stu, sure worked for me, Another oldy. Since your current VB registration key is still valid even though the date has expired for the PTE versions you have installed ... you usually dont get a Load a Key message prompt. Please remember the current VB key will always be functional and valid for those PTE versions. It is possible to manually load your new VB registration key. From the menu bar press Help | Enter New License Key. Then paste or load the new key. I have no idea why your new key is not manually loading or pasting into Beta 15. You may then have to wait for a future version release which Load A Key is required or Igor and Alena may have other options to offer you to get this new key loaded. ... nobeefstu All the best RayC
