The manager then decided to give me a different copy and to take it up with MS through their wholesaler. I just put the new code in AND IT WORKS  I took some pictures of the bad disk and packaging but I don't know howto attach them on here. It looks 100% identical to the one I have replaced it with. So weird.  |

| | great read, pity you had to jump through so many hoops to get a result though. i guess thats one of the resulst of software piracy, everybody is suspicious of anythign not quite kosher and simply assume you're a crook rather than look at the facts! i had to reinstall my copy of windows 7 within a week of first activating and lost count of the times i was asked if it ws installed on more than one computer, is this the only copy you will be installing, are there any other copies etc etc! |

| | It think the problem may have been that to legally use a volume license you have to upgrade from an older OP system. Not to mention the requirement for having 5 other upgraded PC's in the network was not met. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/bus...ow-to-buy.aspx I won't get into the fact that clearly the Cd was mislabled and in the wrong box to begin with.  Windows licenses available through Volume Licensing are upgrade-only licenses They do not replace purchasing the initial Windows licenses for software that comes pre-installed on new PCs. Each desktop that runs the Windows 7 upgrade must first be licensed to run one of the qualifying operating systems—otherwise the PC will not have a valid, legal Windows license. |
