Where did you buy the Disc? Go there and talk to them as well. If you still have a reciet for the purchase you should have no problems. An individual will be given the runaround but if they contact Microsoft they will get results faster... That is if you got it at a halfway decent store.

Blink where in the hell did you find that link and is that shit for real? I work at a school and get a discount of software but it is double those prices! I just bookmark that, WOW!!!

I'm amazed by the number of people here prepared to pay for pirated software.

Ever heard of this technology called BitTorrent? :shock:
I'm betting the excuse is "it's full of trojans and virii". :lol:

@wind

You would have to be stupid to pirate important software like an Operating System, once they find out you pirated it they can make using your PC a living hell.

when did this turn into a pirating thread? Seriously what the hell.

Anyways. I guess I'm screwed. I've tried everything I can (that I can think off) and nothing worked my way.

Pirating doesn't exist, it's called sharing

i dont not pirate OS'es for that. I don't pirate OS'es because i think the creators of which, Microsoft, really earned the price i'm paying for it. (that is the OEM version, lol). I would do the same for Office, except im still using '97 ...

I'm not a moderator, but no more piracy discussions here plz - MELVIn's Vista still doesn't work.
Let's finish the original topic before starting on a new one.

MELVIn, the only (legal) recourse for you is to use your powers of persuasion on the MS support guys and give them no peace until they give you a new key.

Alternatively, if all that doesn't work, I'll can PM you a key that will work.

Autodesk is basically fine with it unless your going to sell it. One way or another, in a couple years, if you actually go into modeling they'l get your money be it from your company or your own pocket :wink:
