I just tried to upgrade from Trial to Licensed. Upgrade got stuck on a "nonexistent subroutine error"---I've filed a ticket.
But I anticipate another problem later, because I overwrote my VAR files when I ftp'd the upgrade file set.
AFTER overwriting them, I came to the instruction "Never overwrite vars files unless directed to..."
THIS WARNING SHOULD OCCUR **BEFORE** THE INSTRUCTION THAT TELLS US TO UPLOAD THE VARIABLES FILES, NOT TWO PARAGRAPHS LATER.

Did you follow the directions at https://www.ubbcentral.com/support/docs/ubbclassic/UBB6_upgrade_within_6.html

When you look at step 6 it says

Quote
Examine the contents of the 'variables' directory in the upgrade zip. Compare its contents with the variables files you already have on your server. If there are any files that exist in the 'variables' directory of the zip that do not exist on your server, transfer them using ASCII or TEXT mode. Be sure to set permissions, if required.
I would say that the directions are pretty accurate there.
