Jeremy, where did you find Vlad active? Wondering how to get his attention.

Here's my activation link w/o the key: <http://tabsoutliner.com/setlicensekey?tabsoutlinerkey=XXXXX...>

What looks to be the license key on the activation em doesn't look anything like the XXXX... The activation em gives an order number. The activation key resembles a random string very long.

So, how does one find/restore the original 'Chrome' for which the license was produced? I know what the profile is, but finding exactly which one is not easy either. What exactly is the Chrome ID? Where to find what is the original, and how to restore it. Why would the Chrome ID change? Would it be related to the version?

Re mail addresses. How to find which one is expected? This sounds inconsistent because the recovery/activation sequence makes specific reference to the Chrome email login account.

I can't restore my account even with the original email. Everything goes correctly except that it no longer recognizes my email. Yes, I've checked and double checked. I'm logged in to google with the correct email. I'm left at a page that says "Current Chrome profile email does not match present Paid Mode License Key" among other things, all irrelevant. From there it invites me to "Drop Invalid License Key & Switch To Purchase Screen". I've sent email to the CS addy, no response. I wonder if Vlad has been killed in the current Ukrainian troubles.
