Hi Phil, I use version 4.26 and love it, so I have never bothered with newer versions. You should find a register pull down menu under either options, or tools, I don't remember for sure and after you register you copy the menu goes away, so I can't check it out for you! Grin! When you press enter on the register menu, tab over to the name fields and put your first and last name in just as they are in your registration file and then put in your key and you should be good to go! 73 and I hhope this helps!
