I meant get the reg number, not to download it.  I apologize for the above. 
Since StarDivision changed versions, it would not work as each registration
number works only for that version.  I found out the hard way you can't use a
5.0 number on a 5.01 installation.  I don't know what I was thinking.

Just make sure you are on the Internet when you set up SO5 and it will register
for you.  It's pretty flakey, though.
