Sorry for this undue traffic but I thought this typo had to be

Phil,
This might be the case with our UNused license, but why has the first
one stopped working? The educational license allows for two installs per
key. We still have a working machine upstairs with the same license key.
This seems to be a MS activation server problem. Both machines were
installed in 2015, and have been working up till now without a hitch. I
got the impression that re-activating Win 7 had been discouraged by the company
and not really an option. In fact, I was offered an upgrade to
Win 10. My son uses Win 10 and I have to manage his machine (backups and
installs etc.), which is something of a pain in the neck.
Best regards,
Kari Eveli

One of the big problems with a lot of software packages, including
Windows 10, is that there a lot of /key cracking /programs available for
download. There are several that are targeted at Windows. Essentially,
they work by trying to unlock the software using key after key. When
they finally find one that works, they use it. Unfortunately, when
someone with that legitimate key tries to register, the license gets
spit out.
