v3.3 Upgrade problem with "Password.lic"

I upgraded to v3.3 from v3.2c and copied my "password.lic" file I received into the executable directory.

I eventually discovered I had to also remove the old "Password.bin" file that was still there from the previous installation before it would properly register.

Just thought everyone should know about this...

You are correct. Password.bin file always takes precedence over other extensions.

One more thing. Password.lic file is actually a zip archive. So another way to remedy the problem is to rename password.lic to password.zip, then extract password.bin from the latter.

Version 3.3 was made to recognize any password.* file. It tries to see if it's a zip archive, and it is, it will extract password.bin from there. But as I mentioned earlier, .bin file is always checked first. Perhaps a good improvement would be to try looking for another password.* file if .bin file is old.
