Yes Microsoft have really wised up to this scam and as fast as somebody posts a so-called sure fire way to activate a pirated copy of Windows or Office etc, they move to block the ‘number’.
This means that you don’t get any support or updates and in fact they can remove all functionality from some of the programmes, if they are pirated copies.
Personally I think this is only fair. In many ways it’s like paying for the Road Tax on your car. If I pay for mine then I feel that others should pay for theirs and not, in essence, steal it. Software piracy is, at the end of the day, common theft.
I totally agree and understand, but my pc was custom built by some guy and never came with the product ID or boot disc, so I used a disc from somebody else but as the licence key had already been used ot caused so much work.
I could of, if desparate telephoned microsoft and explained, im sure under the circumstances they would have sent me a disc out for some sort of cost.
Im just one of those that waits until Ive tried to resolve things myself before asking for help, plus I rather enjoy a battle with Bill Gates every now and then, when needed. :wink:
and in the end I won that one, but it was a jolly well hard fought battle!
will pm you later mr peps x
footy first!

… rushes off to tell Dave.
he gets about 3 a year. I cant go near him whilst he is the throws of a migraine. He cries, he vomits, he curls up in a dark space and generally just rides it out alone, often with a few tears due to the excrutiating pain. Horride things, but Im pleased to find out Im married to a clever dude! :lol:
I had the free trial on my new lappy, but Ive deleted it and got a free alternative instead.
the free trial took sooooo long to download even on a new laptop, so I gave up and got rid.
Talking of copying serial numbers etc, you really need to be sure you get a proper number that will work, when I tried it with windows xp, it told me my windows had been activated, yet it ran out after 30 days, so I had to get a legit copy (although it was from a friend) and re-load windows. I dont know if office will be the same, but Id bet it is.
