Adrian, Thanks for the info. The license.properties file tip was brilliant! Worked like a charm. :-)
One note for those who might be doing such an upgrade later.... After doing the new install, be sure to copy your CFIDE directory **before** you uninstall the old version. After the uninstall, copy the CFIDE directory back to its desired location.
