Not helpful ones, I fear.  The only thing I can say is that I would get
the same error you mention, but would just click OK (and I think, don't
show this message again) and it would start up without problem. 

Last obvious one that I can think of--did you put in a serial number
when requested?  

Hrrm, no, that makes no sense, you wouldn't have gotten as far as you
did, if my memory serves me correctly.
