Just as the subject says...

I chose to save the license file rather than run it and found it saved as an exe rather than the mjr I was expecting. I didn't change the extension during download and just saved it to my default download location.

A simple name change fixed the issue.

Could just as likely be an Opera issue I guess but I don't remember this happening before.

That was an issue I was seeing in the early 10.x builds.  It seems to have been resolved being with the 10.5x builds.  I am interested, which version of Opera are you using?  I am using Opera 11.01 and, last time I had to restore an MC 15 license that was not an issue.

I'm using 11.01 as well.

Same for me with Opera 11.01

Ugh.  This has been a problem for ages:

Other browsers used to trip up occasionally too; Opera seems to be the problem child today.

It's worth mentioning that IE, Chrome, and Firefox correctly save the file as an MJR.

Maybe because we want to launch the file, Opera changes it to an executable to be more understandable for a user.  But since this also breaks things, it's not a great approach in my opinion.
