I didn't have any problem using LRT on an old Mac. But after migrating to a PC, I can't even get started. For one, I can't figure out how to get LRT to "see" the .lic file to license the software. Even after going through the "show hidden files" process, LRT can't see the .lic file when I navigate to the folder.

I also can't get LRT to initialize with my raw (CR2) files.

Anyhow, if anyone uses LRT on a PC and could help me get started, I'd much appreciate it!

Normally intstalling LRTimelapse on the PC is even more straight forward then on the mac. I wonder why you are experiencing those problems.
One thing you should make sure is that you have installed the latest 64bit Java from here:

Uninstall all other Java installations before.

I've already written you via email regarding the lic file.
Please post the log file that you can find in the info menu/log regarding the initialization problems.
