Yet I still need to call (or email) Licensing to get the authorization 
code. That's something I can't get from the website, something I can't do 
myself. And - in my opinion, only - something that should easily be 
available from the website. At the very least, a notice on the website 
that says "If you're looking for an update enabler, you can't get it here. 
Email licensing instead".

I dread having to re-host my other server, and get new enablers for all 
the licneses entered there (from the website, for some reason I have 
multiple site IDs, and some of the licenses are for one site, some for 
another. I really don't want to enter 61 new enabler codes, much less have 
to enter them all on the re-host portion of the website. Client licenses, 
storage nodes, backup tier levels - I have all sorts of entries I have to 
go an touch, because I moved my server from one machine to another. And I 
have to authorize them all now, before they expire - for some reason, I 
only got 14 days grace period when I moved the server.

Later, I will have to rename it - more re-enabling, no doubt - and then 
upgrade it to NW 8, as well. And probably yet more re-enabling ...

Sorry for being so grumpy, but NW licensing changes are a big pain. Not 
your fault, of course.
