Dear All
Thanks for comments BUT I did pay for the student version and it says on the
box ok for 3 computers. It is a 'proper' version from a major UK on line
retailer. Cane through the post in a proper box with a proper microsft disk.
I have not made illegal copies nor used it on more than 3 machines
Any more ideas or have I been robbed by someone?
