Maps Updater - IMEI # cannot be obtained

After downloading and installing the Nokia Maps Updater (and removing Beta versions of 3.0) I have an error;
Cannot update licenses
Missing phone info: IMSI or IMEI cannot be obtained
I found this forum post that directs people to work with the company for license and as I filled in the form they asked for my IMEI by typing *#60# onto home screen.  This did not work, but as you can see from the info at start of post other functions like *#0000# do still work.

Is this a phone issue or is the software not requesting correctly to retrieve the IMEI?

I'm glad we are on the same version, however my point is I upgraded a week before the release to a beta version and this is the same version you and I have so no update has happened from a beta version to the "final" version.  I am surprised at this, as why put out a beta if you are only going to release it as final?  A beta implies there are issues that need resolving and that does not appear to have happened for the last version.
I am not complaining, just curious, as I do like ovi maps and speed and performance have improved over the versions.  For another topic I only think they need to improve the search functionality as I compare it to Google maps and I can search by a typing an address within one click (Ovi takes multiple clicks or uses fields for specific info).
