Paul S. Wolf said:The one thing no one has mentioned, is that the copy you bought is a
pirated copy, as is ovious from the title of the message " Not for
Retail or OEM Distribution".
The following is from
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/...all/proddocs/en-us/lic_many_types_piracy.mspx
Are there different types of software piracy? Is one type of piracy less
damaging than any other?
There are five basic forms of software piracy, and all are damaging both
to the software publisher and to you, the end user. The following are
the five basic types of piracy:
...
License Misuse: Software distributed under special discount licenses,
either to high-volume customers, computer manufacturers, or academic
institutions, that is then redistributed to others who do not hold or
qualify for these licenses.
...
Microsoft World Wide Fulfillment (WWF) product misuse. This form of
license misuse occurs when an WWF product is diverted into normal
commercial channels of distribution. The WWF product may be distributed
only to end users who have a Select or Open license and who order the
product in accordance with their license terms. The WWF product has a
sticker on the jewel case identifying the product as "Microsoft World
Wide Fulfillment."

Each week, I write ads for my clients as well as for myself, possibly my

Well, the very best of luck to you using those putzes for your ISP.
No, your wording sounded like miscomprehension.

Hi Paul,
Thank you for your informative response. I just got off of the phone with
Microsoft's 1-800-RU-LEGIT hotline and after a five minute call I learned
the following.
The copy I have is legit. It is issued with new computers only and the
copies are SOMETIMES tailored somewhat to the needs/layout of the computer
it is issued for, thus it's not geared for general retail sales. No laws
have been broken as the copy I have is (not) stolen and is (not) a forge, as
Microsoft states that anyone is entitled to sell their original copy of a
given program as long as they uninstall it on their computer. However,
Microsoft records show that my copy and product key number have never been
registered and my copy checks out to have a valid product key.
Optionally, I have been advised to return the copy of FP 2002 to the
retailer and ask for a retail version of the software or ask for my money
back if they refuse. I will now call the retailer and ask for a retail
version.
Thanks again for all of your help.

Paul S. Wolf said:That's good to know. While you're at it, get the 2003 version, as
others have suggested. It is much improved and will work fine on any
site that has the 2002 extensions.
