Hi Tracy,
it looks like there is some line before the email address, and before the other 2 lines as well. If you cat the .license they should show up as three consecutive lines with no blank lines between them. Try looking at it in emacs.
cheers Bruce

I've pasted the error message (and all the preceding command lines) below. I'm using the latest version of ubuntu in virtualbox. I made the .license file w/ pico, and it looks fine to me, but it's just not working.
Thanks for any help!
