I've had dental surgery that I enjoyed more than working with this 
website. :-)

That's not what I need, tho. I need a new enabler code. I rather naively 
thought I could download a new enabler code by choosing "Download Enabler 
Code". It then asked for my host ID. And then it gave me back the enabler 
codes I already had entered on that host ID ... no option for getting a 
new one for that host ID. 

I'm not activating a new license, just getting an enabler code for an 
upgraded version, presumably under my existing (activated) license. The 
license activation wants a LAC (License Activation Code), and you don't 
get one of those for just an update enabler.

In any event, I also emailed licensing, hopefully I will hear soon.

Sorry to hear about your house.
