In response to an offlist question: I have no idea what version of FM that I had on my desktop and laptop before I ran the first fix provided this morning. After running this first fix, the version for both installations is now set to 10.0.2.
For my client's virtual PC, I ran the first fix simply so I could open FM and determine the version. After the first fix, it was 10.0.1 so I ran the version of the second fix (the one for FM 1.0.1) for this virtual PC. During the running of the second fix, flyover text opens that states something about installing 10.0.3 of FM (note the .3); however, after running this second fix, the version of FM on the laptop now is set to 10.0.2 - So, it's not .3 and somehow, the first fix got me to .2 even though it took two fixes to get my client's PC to that. I give and I don't want to take the chance of screwing something up by running a not needed second fix - as per Brad Anderson's email just a few moments ago. It's like Russian roulette with FM fixes right about now.

My version of FM is 10.0.2, and I see on your second solution that the utilities are for 10.0 and 10.0.1. Should I run this second utility or not (specifically the version for 10.0.1)?

As Shlomo, I tried your suggested solution 1 and 2 without success. Again, just like Shlomo, I don't want to try solution 3. Just as a note: simply setting the date back to 2012 makes the license issue disappear. But this is something I can do as I have admin rights on my PC. What can I do for all my colleagues that are getting back from holidays today, need Framemaker 10 and don't have admin rights?? Happy New Year to all Framers!
