I finally reproduced (involuntarily) what you've been seeing. But it was after making a silly mistake. Did you, by any chance, do something similar?

Namely, yesterday what I had done was, as already reported:

But I kept the old Textures on disk, so that /Applications has both:

drwxrwxrwx@  3 brunovoisin  admin   102 25 jul  2012 Textures.app
drwxr-xr-x@  3 brunovoisin  staff   102  7 mai 06:05 Textures220b19noretina.app

and I kept also the old Textures shortcut in the Dock.

Then today, when launching Textures, I used the Dock shortcut without thinking. This resulted in the old Textures being launched, reading the pref file ~/Library/Preferences/com.bluesky.Textures.plist created by the new Textures, finding there is no activation key in it. Hence



and after entering my serial number and activation key



What you need to do in that case is delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.bluesky.Textures.plist, and then make sure you only use the unlocked Textures2.2.0b19retina or Textures220b19noretina in the future, never your old (not unlocked) Textures.
