although license code is filled in, GF still asks me to register

If you still get the "Purchase Gravity Forms" message on any of the Gravity Forms related pages and are unable to receive automatic upgrades it is because your license key wasn't entered properly. This is usually due to extra spaces or characters accidentally being included before or after the actual key when copy-n-pasting the license key into the settings page.

We did see the screenshots but there's no way to tell if you entered the key correctly.

Did you try removing the license key, copying it again from your confirmation email (making sure to get all of the characters and no extra spaces) and then re-entering it into the field?

The plugin will still function normally if you enter the key incorrectly, only the automatic updates are disabled.

This is usually just a simple case of the key being entered incorrectly. Please double check this by re-entering the key and let us know from there.

Okay, thanks. No need to email use the key.. we have copies of the confirmation email. We will need to look at your admin/settings to debug this further. Can you provide us with an admin login to your site so we can check it out?

Please send the login information via our contact form and we'll take a look at it asap.

I tried your license key on my test sites and it worked fine.. no registration message, etc. Is this happening on all of your sites now, or just one or two?

Try this - go to the Gravity forms settings page and click the save button. That should clear anything that's cached and recheck the license key.

Let me know if that makes a difference. If not, we'll take it from there.

Thomas, I didn't see your contact info yesterday, I must have overlooked it. I can't get in to the test site. The login page times out. I tried in several browsers.

update: I got logged in, but the site is impossibly slow.. every admin page is timing out now.

That said, I noticed you had upgraded to a developer license from the original single. Are you using the developer license key or the original one?

Okay, I was able to log in today and actually get pages to load. I went to the plugin page first and didn't see the registration notice. From there I went to other Gravity Forms admin pages and didn't see the notice. It looks like the plugin is registered correctly and it's working as intended.

If you're still seeing the notice on the plugin page, it's probably some sort of cache issue.

If your browser is caching it could very well be a cache issue. If it's working in other browsers then that is exactly what it is. Clear your browser cache completely and try it again.
