Actually, I was wondering about that. You can't use pre-5.0.6 licenses
on 5.0.7, so that says there's something different or that 5.0.7
knows how old a license is from its key. If it's just the latter,
I'd expect 5.0.7 licenses to work, but if the former, who knows?

Pre-5.0.7 User bumps do seem to install on 5.0.7, though.

Why not just use 5.0.6 licenses for pre-5.0.7? SCO even reinstated 5.0.6
upgrade licenses late in May after pulling them early in April.

Thank you,
