Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, the Color Matching bug in 3.0 was a bit frustrating for everyone. Another lesson in the "don't change things at the last minute" book.
It probably should have a dedicated entry in our site's Knowledge Base. I'll go revisit the matter, but the instructions in the manual seem to me to be the same as your summary, with the addition of specifically matching to a Reference Image in your example. But thanks for writing it up and adding some key phrases--hopefully it will help save someone else some time/frustration.
I agree that the serial number can be hard to read, which has become more important with CS5.5 no longer having a serial number sticker to refer to. It's been made easier-to-read in an upcoming release.
Sorry it turned into an ordeal for you, but I'm glad things are now working.
