Thank you. FileMaker tech support was familiar with the problem. They confirmed that FM9 Pro Advanced will not run correctly in a 64-bit environment. However, it can theoretically be installed in a virtual Windows XP 32-bit environment on a Win7 64-bit machine. The problem with activating in a virtual environment is solved by using a new, local-activation key, which FileMaker provided me. Thanks for the info on FM10 also. It's a pricey upgrade, and I was hesitant to order without knowing whether it would work on my system or not.

standard fm9 trouble... call support to reactivate manually.
obviously fm9 is not tested with w7, and you may expect problems.
to be mentionned, this activation stuff is over with fm10, back to the fm8 system, no activation.
you should be able to re-install on your old PC at least if you uninstall first
