I'd suggest the following: a) delete the demo v4 instance (application folder) b) move the beta v5 version into the application folder c) copy the beta v5 key into the application folder d) drag the beta v5 key onto the application e) now you should be presented with the new database or the convert database dialog f) select the convert database and via the presented dialog box choose the message index file g) optional: if the dialog box under e) did not appear, you are now probably in an opened, new database with no messages. if so, go to the menubar, database and choose new user environment and proceed with select the message index file via the dialog box.
