After that, I had no problem activating. Although I would have thought you'd be in the right place if you were getting a message about it not being activated, and the code you got should have worked there. Hmm, then again, you say the code was on the back of the media, so it kinda sounds like it wasn't a volume license version? If it's not, I'd assume it's got a separate license code for each install. > --STeve Andre' > > On 06/24/11 15:16, Jon Galbreath wrote: >> I bought the departmental media and a single license from the Computer >> Store while I play with 2010 and had no problems authorizing the >> software, but I used the setup.exe /admin to build a patch with all >> the settings I wanted, including the PID.
