Serial number

[Rob]

Hello

I sold a computer to someone whos cheque bounced on me. Is there any way
that the activation can be reversed for that serial number? I still have th
eoriginal CD and serial packaging. I was supposed to get that to him later
but the cheque bounced in teh meantime.

Any help is appreciated.

Call Microsoft for advice. Good luck to you.

No. Unless you can get the seller to make the
check good, the loss is entirely yours....sorry!

A bounced check is a crime, if the name is phony it is also
forgery. You should call the person and ask for your money
and advise them that they have 3 days and you call the
police/DA.

Since you used a European spelling for check, DA mean
District Attorney or you might call it Crown Prosecutor.

Since you have failed to hand over the Original Installation CD and Product
ID information, you too may have comitted an act of fraud.

The transfer of a Microsoft Licence [selling an installed copy of a
Microsoft Product] requires that all this material is handed over to the
purchaser.

If and when this person has to reinstall XP he will most likely call you.

In the meantime, you can call the local police and ask them to make
inquiries on your behalf to track down this fraudster and make good both
parts of the sale and transfer of licence agreements.

By the way Jim: cheque is spelt this way for all ENGLISH speaking countries
except the USA.

Europeans speak other langauges apart from English and usually write in that
other language. However if they converse in written or oral forms, they do
adhere to the Oxford Dictionary and it's spelling.

Yes, I know that they speak about 100 languages in Europe,
some are regional dialects and others are just left over
from the last local war . How many languages were formerly
used inside the current UK? The Swiss speak German, French
and for all I know Italian as well as English.

Glad you noticed that I simply used the spell to also
include further translation of words I used.

The Swiss speak German, French, Italian, and Romanche (the official
languages).

This advice always sounds (an is) good in principle but, given the
typical police force workload and budget, I have the feeling that all
that will result in the case of petty crime such as this, is that they
will take down the details and give it the "appropriate priority" on
their to-do list.
