Hmmm... Guess not. So you downloaded the US patch?
If that is not working, try the Benelux version. I heard this flaw many a time.
Or you have bought a copy, but I don't think that's it
 
If the Benelux Version doesnt work then have a look at the thread "what version is this and how do I upgrade". in the Support Forum.
