Must be a workaround - I own the license, I bought it from Gateway at the then street price! Any help appreciated TIA Ian B.

Not aware of any workaround. It may be possible to windiff the OEM ver with a NON OEM ver and determine what's changed but why do that if you already have a NON-OEM version? Unless of course you don't.
