i think it reads both...  and will work if it finds one in either place.
the odd thing is, i've got my SN...  with no license file (fresh
install)...  and when i go to "enter my serial number" i just get a
message saying "no license exists".  no kidding...  so how can i create
one if the tool used to create the license won't run without a license?

i've got to be missing something, otherwise this just seems like a huge
chicken and egg scenario.  it seems i can't even generate the
license.ws.3.0 file without already having a license.

?

figured i'd be the only one having this problem -- i didn't even want to
install the stupid thing.  company politics.  (i.e. internal idiots
insisting on using ticketing systems that only work with IE.)

everything windows related -- even emulating it -- turns out to be a huge
PITA.
