If you do a DIR listing on the key file, the file date should match what it was when it was first created by the keygen.  If DIR shows the correct date/time then "it should be OK".

The multi-node setup is something I hadn't thought to test - I only tested the keygen in a single node setup, where the .SCC file goes in the main SBBS directory.  I am not certain where it looks for the files in a multinode setup. 

Just to double check - you did put the .SCC file in the SBBS directory AND also entered the matching registration code in the 'Registration' screen of the CONFIG program?

If all is fails, there is another option - before completing the keygen, I cracked the OVRSBBS.OVR file to disable the check for the key file.  With the crack, you can replace OVRSBBS.OVR and enter a registration code in CONFIG, and then it will run in registered mode.  (no need for .SCC file at all)  I can put the original SBBS-KEY.ZIP (crack version) online if you want to try it. (I took it offline when I replaced it with the full keygen version SBBSKEY2.ZIP)
