The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: When you first enter WordPerfect 5.1, a prompt to enter the license number appears. This number will appear at the top of the initial Help screen. If you enter the number incorrectly and wish to change it, you must first delete or rename both the WP{WP}.SET file and the WP{WP}US.LCN file. You will then be prompted for the number the first time you enter WordPerfect after deleting these two files. Be aware that any changes made to screen colors, printer selections, or other settings held in the .SET file will be lost and will need to be reset. A new startup option, /LN (added on the 03/30/90 release of WP 5.1 DOS), causes WP to re-prompt you for the license number, allowing you to update or change the number. However, this option only changes the license number for the person using the startup option.
