Iwork 05 trial version and iwork 06 purchase failure.

Help. When I purchased my powerbook G4 it came with the trial version of iwork 05. After getting around to trying it and getting hooked I decided to purchase it. Well, all I could find was iwork 06. So I bought the code to unlock (not the disc version) and every time I put the code (copy and paste from confirmation e-mail) in I get the message that I have an invalid key. I've done the upgrades for iwork 05 and still get the invalid key error message. If anyone can provide assistance...

iWork '06 doesn't update iWork '05, they sit in separate folders (with the respective names) so you have to launch Pages or Keynote from the iWork '06 folder to get to the appropriate dialog for entering the key.
iWork '06 keys will definitely not be recognized by iWork '05 or vice versa, they seem to be totally different applications.
If you're still having trouble you might want to go to /Library/Preferences/ and delete the com.apple.iWork plist file. Also, when you copy and paste from the confirmation email you may want to make sure you're not getting additional characters. iWork is quite finicky about needing the dashes, and the right case (I think)
