Happy New [FMPro] Year!

Happy New Year to all caMMac readers 
I start the New Year with full operational Filemaker Pro v9. I had not deactivated either of my installations (iMac and MacBook) before upgrading to Leopard and when I came to run FMPro I found that I was deactivated. What's more I had no activations remaining to me. It took a couple of phone calls to get one activation, then another after it was "escalated" to the USA. Carl at FMPro in the UK came up trumps (thanks, chum). But why did the Leopard installation not warn me? [I used Erase and Instal]
Anyway, now you know: deactivate all your software before upgrading to Leopard. But it is worth the (pretty minor) hassle.
