One of my servers says the software is expired + error

Problem one,
I thought it was odd that I wasn't able to enter our registration key anywhere, but now one out of the three servers that I installed SQL Backup to is marked as expired. All three versions are version 4.1.0.207. I had tested the software on the server that is having the expiration issue but had uninstalled that version and reinstalled the latest version when we purchased the software recently. I used the same install to install all three servers. None of them asked me to register the software which I thought very odd.
Problem two,
On another server, I'm able to backup 2 databases but not any more than that. All the others yield this error code:

There is plenty of space on the server and I tried changing the location and this didn't help. Any ideas?

You register the servers via the GUI. Select the server on the servers panel, right click to bring up the context menu, select the 'License activation' item.
Problem two:
Have you contacted support for a patch version that addresses an issue related to backing up to network drives? Are you able to back up to local drives?
