Why does MS require using MSN to use PictureIt!?

[Roger D]

I purchased PictureIt! in 2001 for about $150.00 and now MS REQUIRES me to
either sign in to MSN or else delete the program. How can this be? Even my
original product number 53620-264-5880923-04356 PICTURE IT! March 26, 2001 is
not recognized!

The reason you get the message is if you want to publish your pictures
on MSN portal.

I doubt very much it said " ..or else delete the program". Is there any
way you can send the picture of that message? I like to see it to
believe it! I am a sceptic/skeptic having seen so many customers who
are not clear what they read or what they say!

Bad idea to post your product key

And bad idea not to post enquiries to the technical support. Paid users are
entitled to do that.

And actually there is a microsoft.public.pictureit newsgroup which is more
suitable for asking this question.
