The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: When a user first enters WordPerfect 5.1, he is prompted to enter the license number. This number will appear at the top of the initial Help screen. If this number is entered incorrectly, and the user wishes to change it, he must first delete or rename both the WP{WP}.SET file and the WP{WP}US.LCN file. The first time the user enters WordPerfect after deleting these two files, he will again be prompted for the number. Another option is to move the WP.EXE and WP.FIL files to a different directory then start WordPerfect from that directory. This will give the user a new .SET file and the opportunity to enter the license number again. After the correct license number has been entered, the files can be moved back to the original directory.

A new startup option, /LN, causes WP to re-prompt you for the license number, allowing you to update or change the number. However, this option only changes the license number for the person using the startup option.
**This also applies to WordPerfect 5.1 for Windows
