Trial Version won't unlock even after accepting key

I just purchased XYplorer, and received my license key. I've entered my name and license key, and receive the message "Thank You! Now click OK, then close the application and re-open it."
Upon re-opening it, I get the nag screen again asking me to "Continue Evaluation" or "Buy Online". The chrome of the application also reads "### 30-Day Trial Version". I've gone through this a few times, opening, entering the key under the Help menu, restarting...but I keep getting the "trial" information, despite it recognizing my name/key combination. I've also tried this via "run as administrator" and get the same result (or lack of result).
Note, I'm running it off of my C: drive, just a regular install, nothing portable or anything. Windows 7.
Help?

1) It seams, you have no write access to your XYplorer.ini file?
Can you post the information from XYplorer menu "Help > Various Information"?
Like
App: H:\xyplorer\XYplorer.exe
Ini File: H:\xyplorer\Data\XYplorer.ini
App Data Path: H:\xyplorer\Data\
(More background info at

2) On this page you can verify your license if valid:

3) There you can read some tips about unlocking>

Stefan: I tried the License Lounge form and it didn't work, despite me copy/pasting directly from the PDF I made of my order receipt. However, when I copy/pasted from the actual email itself (not the PDF version), it worked. So I tried this way on the actual program, and now everything is unlocked as it should be. Thanks for the help and the speedy reply.
Best,
Dan

OH! That would explain it because a PDF can introduce other data that isn't really noticed...it's happened to me before on other situations.
And welcome to the XY forums as well from me!
