they won't let you activate a different PC, no questions asked, then the licensing scheme DOES NOT WORK.

activate a trial copy yet on 2 different machines, so I don't know if they will let you or not.

That is bogus. We were all promised that you could call Microsoft directly 7 days a week and get back up and running. While there has been a certain degree of disappointment with the new licensing, I am wondering where the outrage is.

I wonder what % of end users participate in the forums. I bet there are a lot of frustrated people out there who have no way to vent. I guess the only way to get the customer list is to file class action on Microsoft. Then we'd know the extent of the outrage.

One More area of concern. This is the first time I Joined a forum using my last name only. I signed up this morning. When I got home this evening, I was treated to this: (glad I only gave them a Yahoo address)

BTW Thanks for safeguarding my info MS !!!

Prentiss,

You are posting to a publicly available newsgroup. Any newsreader can access it. Microsoft has no bearing on the ability of someone to see your posts.

Plus, Google indexes it.

No secrets here...

Just use MS outlook Express configured with a fake email address. Any time you use any newsgroup with a real email address, you are looking for spam.

I think the spammer just used your last name because they don't speak english very well. If you note the replies below, you are posting as snipped-for-privacy@discussions.microsoft.com - no Yahoo account is exposed.

Glenn Adams Tiber Creek C> Jason,

Once you activate the software the license can only be used on the machine the product was activated on.

This postThe computer on which I installed and activated POS 2.0 trial version last week is not working properly. So I decided to use another computer and installed software on it again but could not activate. Why not? I'm close to testing CC payment processing module. Please help???
