OK, I called microsoft and they told me that the key was valid so it would be
ok to install, however they told me that i have should receive only one cd
and one key,(but i received 3 cd with same key) and with that it would be ok
to install in the amount of computer that i intended. Now, they said that if
i bought the license, then everything was ok, however, i do not know if i
actually bought it, i know the license is the same that the product key, but
that fact does not mean that the key is good. so at the end microsoft said to
call the place where i bought and to ask if what i bought was the
license,which i did and they dont know....so i ended up just asking for a
refund, now i'll have to wait. Thank you for your help.
