License Files (9.04/9.05)

I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how Epicor generates the license files...

Does the Encoded: UTF-8 make a difference in the license file (if your database is not unicode)?

Is the file different at 9.04 and 9.05?

What I am experiencing is the file associates fine in the Administration Tools/Application Server setting. I can associate the file to the company, see the modules, see the users...

However, when trying to access the Admin Tools to run data conversions, it is telling me that I need to re-enter the license information.

Any ideas?
