Vs 7.6 Upgrade Error

SOLVED

I'm running a preliminary upgrade from version 7.4 to 2014 (7.6).  When I run the Upgrade Utility I get the following error. "An  Error Occurred Reading  Sage 500 ERP License Information form the database"  My 7.4 is fully licensed and functional.  Anyone seen this and more importantly, anyone know a fix?
