[LUAU] Problems registering Star Office 5.0

[Angelo Alvarez]

Just wondering of those out there who have installed Star Office, has
anyone had any problems registering and then enabling the registration
key (so it will never expire)?

Each time I try to register "online" I get an error.  The funny thing is
that I have received a registration "key" from Star Office (so it must
have gone thru ???).  Any way, the "enable key" button under
registration is still faded so I can't input the "key".

I emailed the support team, but was just wondering in the mean time. :)
BTW, I think it is a really cool package (esp. the drawing program!!)
