Hello Gregg,
The 'Updates' page http://www.renderx.net/Content/download/update.cgi 
accepts any license key issued by RenderX, no matter which product or 
which type of license you have in your license key, and the license key 
is always "license.xml", but you may rename it as you wish (but not edit).

Trial license key for XEP says (in it's file):
    <product name="XEP">
       <limit name="trial">1</limit>
       <feature name="stamp"/>
    </product>
, while Desktop or Server licenses say:
   <product name="XEP">
     <limit name="server">1</limit> <!-- or -->
     <limit name="client">1</limit>
   </product>
, so you may always find out what a file is for by reading it.

Moreover, if you post a trial license into the 'Updates' page, you would 
download a distribution file named
	"xep-4.11-20071214-trial.zip".
If you post a 'full' license, the filename would be
	"xep-4.11-20071214.zip".
I don't think there is any ambiguity in this procedure.

The license key is a UTF-8 XML file, just take a look on it's content!
The other 'Updates' page (http://www.renderx.com/download/updates.html) 
does not look ambiguous to me either, and when you post your license 
there, you are redirected to the same page with links for downloads as I 
described above.

It's OK, just don't use PDF hacking as the default solution.

Sorry for long post. I think it may help others who meet troubles 
getting rid of the stamp.
