Pete (and Aaron), sorry for the confusion about this.  I had forgotten 
exactly how the OAR license works.

It isn't a keyed license, so there's no 70-day grace period.  When you 
buy the product, it's only for one machine, and you have to accept the 
license agreement when you install the product.  Once that license 
agreement has been accepted for the machine, you can use the product.

I think you probably already have the 7.1 PTF that corrected the OAR 
license-check problem; the PTF was done prior to GA, and my 
understanding is that it would be pre-applied on all systems.

The problem with the OAR license check was only in 7.1.  The 6.1 version 
never had the problem.
