our licensed link ended up registered to the wrong FRN. We go through our partner company to order product (something to do with sales tax and inventory) we went through the vendor to do the licensing. Since the actual customer of the vendor was our partner company, it ended up registered to them (a risk when you play three card monte with your purchases). maybe its registered under another company name, it costs close to a grand to move that registration so they may have just left it
