Hello Mr. Hoffman!

Thank you realy much for your detailed posting but I think I already
registered the right PAK correctly and I have enabled it at the
installation process.
I did act to your suggestion with the faq but it is like all the other
faq's and google searches.
This license problem is realy confusing to me and I fear that I can't
solve it and I never can check out this great OS because of this
stupid licensing.
This is the reason why I'm hopeing to get a good hint from usenet what
I exactly should do in my situation. In the meantime I will study the
faq.

Thank you and greetings - Joe
