	~~Some years ago~~, in anticipation of moving to a 64bit platform, kJams transitioned from the old serial number type (provided by eCommerce company "eSellerate"), to the new serial number type (provided by "Paddle").		In 2017, in anticipation of moving to a 64bit platform, kJams transitioned from the old serial number type (provided by eCommerce company "eSellerate"), to the new serial number type (provided by "Paddle").

	"eSellerate" is 32bit-only, while "Paddle" could be run in 32 or 64bit. In other words, the old serial number works only on 32bit computers, while the new SN works in either type.		"eSellerate" is 32bit-only, while "Paddle" could be run in 32 or 64bit. In other words, the old serial number works only on 32bit computers, while the new SN works in either type.

	What that means is, ONLY the old, 32bit version of kJams is capable of converting the old SN to the new SN, since it can use both systems.		What that means is, ONLY the old, 32bit version of kJams (using the new Paddle) is capable of converting the old SN to the new SN, since it can use both systems.

	So if you are now using the 64bit version of kJams, but you ONLY have an old (32bit) serial number, you're in a bit of a bind.		So if you are now using the 64bit version of kJams, but you ONLY have an old (32bit) serial number, you're in a bit of a bind.
