which version ?

Your lic_key_2.dat file is locked to edits + some patches making the own backup of this file and make copy back and forward, I faced similar issue. Since the WIS key is saved in the same file, you need to unlock the edit, load your WIS key and lock again.

Windows can't even find a file like that. Where it's located? Thanks.

check C:\ProgramData\LicDir\ or older c:\Documents and Settings\All users\Application data\licdir\
