That is a very good question... one that I asked in the eStore Forum.. I was provided the folllowing answer by Ryan Munnis...
"The full installer for Dimension Pro 1.5 takes a different format of serial numbers (CWDM-1.50-XXXXXX-XXXXXX) opposed to the previous format with earlier installers on discs a few years back (CWDM-1.10-XXXXXX-XXXXXX). The is one of the reasons if you already own Dimension Pro you will be given a new serial number. It's so that you can install it."
Based in this, I got the impression that I was supposed to install the new version, to ensure that my Dimension Pro version had the new serial number format (and why else would you be sent a new copy of dimension pro 1.5, including a new serial number and registration number if you were not supposed to install and update it?)
My Dimension Pro seems to be installed correctly (I have installed it twice now), and it shows the new serial number, and despite loading it with admin privaledges, it will NOT accept the new registration number.
