That's a real good question. A read in another newsgroup somewhere that this is a bug in the
latest release. It makes no sense, but on my PC it worked. I still can't figure out why the
password would have any affect on a feature that has to be purchased separately.

Zone Labs hasn't really explained this at all. But, for now, my stuff works (until the next
upgrade!).
