MAE 3.0 update 4 is the last release.  It runs a slightly tweaked version
of 7.5.3, and is actually quite fast.  Much better than MAE 1 and 2.  It
will be painful on a Sparc 2, though, probably somewhere in between a Plus
and an LC in performance.  My old Sparc 10/61 just managed IIci
performance, except in video (which was much slower due to going through
X).  A modern Ultra gets performance comparable to a first generation
PowerMac.

The license issue is a sticky one.  There were two types of licenses
available, those for "real" customers and the 30-day trial licenses that
could be obtained for free.

If the original poster can't get a license key despite owning a copy of
the product (MAE is dead and gone now, partially thanks to Jobs) then
please let me know.
