Revolution 2.1 Installation Problems on OS X

Dar --

Below I've tried to answer all your questions. But I should make clear 
up front that this problem fixed itself on at least one of my Macs. See 
below in response to your request for workarounds for more details...

As best I can tell, yes. I admit to not being very careful about 
whether I used my middle initial in each copy, or whether I inserted a 
comma before the "LLC" in my company name. But I've never been very 
careful about these things, and never had this problem before.

Funny you should ask. I received a new license from Heather this 
morning, along with some specific questions about my installation, so 
that RunRev could assist with a solution. Before submitting this info, 
I thought I'd try to launch 2.1 again. I double-clicked on the 
application icon, and for some reason, the problem was gone. The 
license agreement came up, I accepted the terms, and was able to enter 
the new license number. Version 2.1 is running just fine now.

I have no idea why this is. It's not due to rebooting between yesterday 
and today, because I in fact tried a reboot, and even an extended shut 
down, when I first started having the problem.

I'll have to try this on my PowerBook again when I get home tonight, as 
I had the same problem there. It will be beyond wild if the problem is 
solved on that machine, too.

I'm not sure this helps, other than to suggest to those who had this 
problem that they may wish to try again.
