When pasting in my license key <ctl> v didn't work. Fortunately there was a context menu on the text field with a paste option that did work.

I'd been playing a v9 league and went through the import process. I didn't mind downloading a demo version of v10 to create a world.dat that would work with v11. I think the documentation could be improved on the details of importing a league (game.) It wasn't obvious to me that the world.dat file gets created by doing a backup. I figured it out by trial and error, or as we like to call it here, the empirical method. The other thing that gave me a bit of trouble was the world.dat file not being in the directory that the import wizard defaults to. I would have preferred to see a tree representation of the directory structure in the wizard but that's maybe because I've been looking at directories that way since I got X-Tree in 1990 or so.

Good news: Once I figured out (stumbled on) the mechanics of the import process it worked fine. It took me about 15 minutes to get it set up after downloading the demo of v10. My 1921 St. Louis Browns have picked up where they left off in v9 with all their data intact.
