I suspect people who answered here took Alain's comment that "WFP" [b]recognised[/b] the licence to mean not that Alain had entered the correct, new licence, but that WFP did not show an error message after Alain entered the licence number.

It is far from clear what steps Alain took to relicence his copy of WFP. He only says that he installed "the" licence and that WFP "recognised" it. Alain mentions several steps that he took, but he doesn't mention visiting the WF web site. If Alain took care to mention all the other steps, would he not also have mentioned at least that he logged in to the web site to retrieve his new licence?

Tell us what your problem is (not simply "it is the same") and what you have done that lead you to the point of considering that you are unable to get WFP out of demo mode.
