Purchased online upgrade still says "trial version"

I purchased the upgrade to Money 2006 online and followed the instructions
as well as humanly possible, but the Money still starts as the trial version
which will expire an the end of this month. I tried everything I can think
of which included following instructions in this knowledge base article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;889930

After doing everything the article said which finally came down to uninstalling
then reinstalling, it seemed to work ....at first. Right after the reinstall,
it didn't say "trial version" so I thought it was fixed. But then, the next
time I started Money, it once again says "trial version".

Does anyone have a clue how to fix this?

Do something similar to, but not the same as

In the resolution, create a NEW empty file (named perhaps Temp.mny)
that you put the referenced Passport onto. Close Money. Restart
Money.

Confirm that Money shows the right version. Then click on your
real Money file that is shown on the bottom of the File menu.
