    Some people tape a piece of clear plastic over the COA sticker.
    If you have a scanner you might also be able to scan the COA and save a copy that way.

    I have my key number written on a piece of paper. My COA sticker is on the DVD package though, still wrote it down.

    Problem solved and recovered my unreadable COA on Laptop


    Was able to read all the COA even though was unreadable with the naked eye.

    I have an EPSON v500 scanner, using 800/1200 bpi and tweaking other settings, I scanned the COA sticker.

    Then using ACDSEE (free trial), color changes, etc, and lots of zooming, you can see the number is: 6R778-Y2XMC ...................
    that was invisible to the naked eye even with magnifying glass.

    ACDSEE allows editing of jpg images with manipulations.

    With a trial ACDSEE 6.0 and an EPSON scanner and lots of OLD fashion Missouri Mule Hardheadedness, I recovered my COA.

    Does it activate at Computer>Properties?

    How is performance so far? Any issues?
