It looks fine, but if you copy/paste the license code, you will see, if you examine carefully, that there are mistakes in the code. OOTP20, for example, is OCR-ed as OOTP2O. And S and 5 are often confused. It looks fine but you don't get what you think you are getting when you copy.
This does not happen, of course, if you copy paste the license directly from your email.
I only point this out in case it is causing others some problems.

Woof. I dove deep into my e-mail trash bin just now to retrieve the original e-mail and compare it to my PDF'ed version. Even copied both license codes to a text editor, one above the other, to make sure. Thanks for this tip. I've been PDFing these things for years but I never thought that there might be an anomaly in the transliteration.
