When I bought my copy (new) and installed and registered the program I also got a very nasty email from the said gent (he accused me of being a thief

). In my reply I did suggest he go forth and multiply several times as well as seek help for chronic masturbation

. The second email I received from him was a little more civil and I was only too happy to answer his questions. Turned out someone from the shop I bought it from had not only loaded the software on their computer but also registered it. The brand new book was then sold on to me

. I ended up getting a new serial number but am not sure what action they took against the shop. I did end up with an apology and gave one in return. They really should find out what has happened before going for the throat.
