It's one thing to ask the customer to verify their genuine copies.
I have found that once it is done (registered and activated) the "reminder" does not go away. (I repeated the process to keep them happy).
Windows will not open until I click NO on the request for activation.
The Two icons are constantly on the Start bar telling me I have x number of days to activate this copy. How annoying is that!!!
If they inserted a file into my computer to "check", why are they not clever enough to recognise when it's done?
