I had a similar issue with a recent WebWorks upgrade which I solved by calling them: 877-693-2967. It bothered me that that was required but it got me to where I needed to be. WebWorks changed licensing models between 9.2 and ePublisher and that might be an issue but it could be easily solved with a call.
