We just upgraded our TPD for MS-SQL from v5.5.1 (the initial install
version, complete with license file)  on a 64-bit machine, and discovered
that the installer ate our license file (the name of which escapes me just
now).

Our Windows admin eventually found a workaround - upgrading to v5.5.3 by
running the MSI installer directly, rather than through the setup.exe.

We are opening a ticket with IBM on this, but just wanted to share.
