I just purchased a developer's license for DD Professional.

Q1. Is there a setup/registration procedure that I should run? All I received was the DLL and a .lic file.
Q2. Do I need to necessarily install the .zip archive that includes the demo site and the trial version of DD. If not, where is the appropriate location for the dashboard DLL and .lic? I placed the DLL and license file in a "bin" subdirectory in my VS project but got an XML exception about the license file.
Q3. My license was shipped with ver. 3.4. Can I switch to the newer version (3.5) of the DLL using my current license?
Q4. Finally, how do I post questions to the "Premium Help" forum?

Thanks--DASSAM
