Steve once customer service actually processes your order as long as your forum email is the same as the one on your license you will become verified. No order is final until customer service emails you that the order has been completed.
As previously stated the forum email must match the email associated with your license which has current members access. Any licenses tied to the email on your forum account here are expired. As our verification announcement suggests if you set your forum email to match the email associated with a license that has current access you should be fine.
