Thanks Chromis.

Ask for your money back.
You bought a product license you are unable to use.

[chromis]

It's really up to the buyer to ask for disks and copy of licences for software installed on any computer before purchase.

Ill have to pay the licence fee with Microsoft I suppose.

At least they havent locked or wiped my computer when Ive visited their site.
