416295 2005-12-29 06:33:00 Thanks to everyone and especially those who PM'd me . Happily the crisis has been solved and I'm now sitting down to a huge slice of humble pie . Washed down by a fine malt vinegar . :yuck:

We went to the Warehouse and discovered a Sims 2 (no actual use here) case open . The serial number was plainly visible inside the case on an instruction manual . My daughter then checked our version yet again and lo and behold - the number was pasted in small print at the bottom of the back of our manual .

AAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH

And it works .

Of course the instructions specifically say on the back of the case but even so, I'd looked through the manual and never considered the back cover page .

So we live and learn . My apologies for wasting your time and once again thanks to PF1ers who populate the best community I've discovered on the net . :thumbs:

416300 2005-12-29 09:39:00 i not long ago had to install an oem copy of WinXP Home, and the serial was printed on the cellophane. extremely stupid place to put the code if you ask me... Mary (6534)
416301 2005-12-29 09:42:00 Thats for easy removal, there are insrutctions alongside the serial stating that you must attach the sticker to the PC that the software is installed on, or Bill Gates will steal your children. Metla (12)

I was supposed to do that for my brothers computer. But seeing how he's not that computer savvy, and that knowing him he'd lose it... Tough Luck MS. I got it stored in my wardrobe with my XP Pro CD.

416303 2005-12-29 10:04:00 Not very appropriate advice for this forum James. Please do not encourage software piracy.
Sorry Jen. I didn't mean to provoke any piracy in this forum.
