Description:
I am still getting an error msg. referring to an "External Component Exception" thrown when I try to activate workbench 6.0.7! I also have WB 5.2 [installed] and when I try to activate that version there is no problem to get into that, aS long as I remember my password. Can someone please help me WB 6??

How to repeat:
just simply trying to start wb 6 again.
