I'm not dead ... :P

So I did go back to school.  I am officially an unemployed dental assistant now. 

But now that I don't have homework, I can start fractaling again.  I wanted to work in Ultra Fractal (on my laptop), but even though I still have my key from when I bought it, it isn't working.  Does the key "age"?  Its from 2007.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Kabu
