Tony,
there is no need to download SO 5.0 more than once. All you need to do is to
go through the registration process on the Stardivision web site, until you
get that registration key. Then, go ahead and install Star Office and make
sure you'll enter the same name and email as for the registration and then
enter the key. Et voila, you're set.
HTH,
Thomas
