I did some more research and talk to Jim (the other Jim) about the "Deleted from database". We have many bundles that are sold to the same customer. Rather than keep different keycodes per bundle, when the database was redone, it was consolidated so its customer will have one keycode per product. So if you are one of these customers, then you will have entries that some keycodes were deleted from the database.

About the Beta keycodes, they are not put in the database but just generated for the beta testing. However, those keycodes should still work on the final release because when Jim (the other Jim) gives out the beta keycodes, they were already meant to work on the final release version.

As I explained before about beta versions, the screensaver themselves are meant to expire if it is a beta version not the keycode.

Since the beta keycodes are meant to work on the final release, then technically each beta testers are given access to final release but not included in the database.

If you lose your beta keycode then you will need to get a replacement through feedback so someone can manually replace it and verify that you were a beta tester for that product. The automatic keycode retrieval will not work since it isn't in the database.

This procedure may change but there is no guarantee.
