I don't understand the struggle. You are violating basic usage
principles of ISE. Never a) uninstall and re-install, or b) install a
new version on the same machine as an earlier working version. The
only thing permitted on any given machine is service pack upgrades
within a version. Yes that leaves you with the "5.1 machine", the "6.1
machine", etc. but that's the rule. Your FAE should have told you
that; it's all we've ever heard since 1999 and several different FAEs.

Is that a licensing thing or a functionality thing?

When I got my Spartan 3e starter kit a few days ago, I installed the
included ISE 8.1 under E:\Program Files\Xilinx .

When I found out that some things Do Not Work in paths that have spaces
in them, I uninstalled it and re-installed it under
E:\ProgramFiles\Xilinx .

Have I set myself up for a lifetime of pain until I get a new computer?
