Really Long Time

Hey guys
Been a really really really long time since i've done anything with the whole online coaster thing. Thinkin this winter I may make a coaster if I got the time. Man I forget all the websites and everything. Still never got my prize for getting 1st in the ride-op competition! lol. But I installed NL and it doesnt have the place where I can enter the key in any more. How do I register this? Do I gotta buy another copy? Is NL still better than SM? Thanks for any replies!
