Trouble getting Reg number for Opera 8.6?

I purchased Opera 8.6 for my x51v from Pocketland.net when they were having their 24 hour sale a couple of weeks ago. I downloaded the Pocket PC version (as verified by "my history" page on their website). At the time of the download, their serial number generator choked when I entered my owner name saying it was an invalid IMEI. I have since found a number on the registration screen and submitted that to pocketland's customer support 3 times. The support person keeps saying I need an IMEA number and chastises me for not knowing what it is and where to find it. I think he/she really means IMEI but maybe there's something lost in the translation between English and German. Is there something I'm missing here? Is there a number somewhere other than on the registration screen that I don't seem to be able to find? It seems to me that Pocketland's keygen is trying to generate a serial number for a smartphone or PPC phone version of Opera, not the pocketpc version.

The registration screen for Opera 8.6 should show a reg code that they need (Opera) to give you the serial number. Did you give them that? I usually have to email Opera tech support to get mine back after a hard reset, as the code usually changes.

Yep I've given Pocketland that number 3 times. Pocketland support keeps asking for the IMEA number. I don't think Pocketland understands that I don't have a phone, even though I've told them that 5 times. I'm not sure Opera will help me since it was bought from someone else, but I guess I could try them.

I'd email Opera. They'd help ya. Nice brower too. :)

Update...After sending the reg screen number to Pocketland for the 4th time with a request for a refund, Pocketland magically generated a working registration number. I wish companies wouldn't make simple things so complicated. BTW...I email Opera support. They sent me the same registration number shortly after Pocketland did. Good to know there is a backup for registration number support at Opera.
