[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1529682, member: 56379"] Purchasing a "new to you" computer with software "pre-installed" (in many cases)...is not a great idea. Firstly because in many cases the software installs are not legitimate/legal...but also because they may not be stable: - They may be trial installs that only last a certain number of days. - The installs may be "locked up" the first time the computer is connected to the internet...when the apps connect to their "home server" for updates (because an inappropriate serial number was used). - The serial numbers/codes used may have been used on multiple computers...and eventually get put on a serial number "black list"...which means the serial number is made no longer valid. You even mentioned that you tried two Windows 8 codes...and both didn't work. The fact that you tried two codes in itself is wrong. The simple answer is...you need to purchase the software packages you need. This guarantees you both legitimacy & stability. - Nick [/QUOTE]
