With a receipt, Costco takes back *anything* you bought there, any
time, used/opened or otherwise and gives you a full refund.

Frankly it's amazing if you ask me. In the case of software they
might as well put up a big sign saying "Get free software here" (as
there is not much from preventing a person from copying the software
before returning it).

Of course in the case of Microsoft and activation I don't know how far
one would get.

But still, it's bizarre. I mentioned it to a clerk there recently and
he smiled and said: "Company policy, what can I say?"
