Default Where did my thread go?

Was it deleted due to the word illegal?

I don't understand, iv done nothing illegal. I have a fully paid version of Windows pre-installed on a computer and the activation code being generated from the product key is incorrect, and I can't check wether or not the product key is entered correctly because it came pre-entered, there is no COA Label on the box.

I can't activate online because it hasn't given me a 30 day grace period in which I could set up my internet.

Can anyone help?

I meant thread pal, think it's because I mentioned the fact that I downloaded a serial.

That would do it. Most computer help sites do not tolerate discussion of piracy.

To be fair it wasn't piracy, I had a fully paid version of Windows.

Microsoft had pirated me.

I agree, Microsoft has monopolistic tendencies...

But, if ANY of your posts or threads even hint at anything illegal it will either be closed or deleted, period.

The life cycle of this thread is over.. and since its turning into a Microsoft bashing thread...
