Yeah, I tried that twice on the same computer. The first time I called them they had no problem giving me an activation code. I typed it in and it worked fine for a few days. Then a few days later the activation code popped up again on the same computer without me changing anything on the system...
I called them up again and then they told me my cd key was invalid. I asked them what they meant by invalid because it worked fine before. They responded by saying invalid = broken....
No reason, just an arbitrary response. They told me to return it to the reseller. However that would be impossible as I bought it OEM about 3 months ago...
So, now I'm stuck with a 200 dollar frisbee.
