Just to let you know I received the £10 CD from Microsoft last week and have just installed it using the key I brought separately and its worked. So I'll do the same for my desktop machine at some point.

There has been a number of articles over here as to whether much of the MS
EULA and their other License agreements are actually legally
enforceable.(this applies to other sofware manufacturers as well)
Unfortunately they dont appear to have been tested in court; - I'm not
refering to illegal copying.

And unfortunately no matter what side of the pond you happen to live (mythe
side is the US) this only reflects back to Microsoft and not the seller of
the license. I don't have access to it but I would believe (IMHO) that
Microsoft's license agreement for the medialess license packs to the
retailer state only to sell to those who the retailer have actually putsoftware on the computer when it was built.product
This person purchased a computer without Office, downloaded the MS trial
from MS's site and then tried to activate with a license purchased from
another source (DABS.COM.) I think in the end the OP is going to get
Royal-ly screwed (pun intended.) If he can't get a refund from DABS.COM he
is out his money because I don't think that he will get it to activate.
