Back at the web frontend I discovered that the server status had changed from registered to "already in use". Furthermore the licensekey that I had entered had also changed. In the first field there were only 3 letters left whereas in the other fields instead ot the first letter there was a "-". Well - once more I put in the correct license key that had been sent to me and tried it. Again - what to say - the same result as before.

After 4 tries and a rebuild of the database it seemed as if it finally had accepted my key. Back on the XBOX it still keeps telling me to purchase a valid license as the testlicense has expired.
Now I am kind of lost. Any valid help is welcome.
