I actually just opened another window on the internet and completed the "off-license method" and it worked.
It was not a typing error because I copied and pasted the number from my e-mail numerous times. Also I tried something curious and just typed 123 in the license code and got the same results, a locked up dialog box. I even deleted the download and redownloaded the game three seperate times in case I got a corrupt file, but I always ended up with the same problem. I am still not sure if this is a problem on my end or a bug of some sort.
I am also still puzzled as to why I can unlicense and relicense Weapons and Warfare and other modules without a hitch but not Global?
Anyway Hubert, Moon, Martin and everybody else thank you for you help. I've got some catching up to do.
