Can we check that contact?

According to the EULA, if we didn't get paper, we didn't get the
license.

That's not to say that the copy wasn't given in good faith, but the
necessary admin to transfer a valid license didn't get done at the time,
and until it is, we're non-compliant and shouldn't be using the software.

If Dan can't get the CF paper license, then we're going to have to fall
back to our previous version (4.5.1 iirc). We'll need the paper license
for that if we're ever going to be able to re-upgrade.

Marlene, do you think it's a good idea to ask Dan for the 4.5.1 license?

How long should we give Dan to pursue the donor before calling it a lost
cause?

Cheers
Martin
