That sounds a bit extreme to me. I can't believe Microsoft hasn't delt with the problem of people losing their stickers before. The sticker is supposed to be on the unit where the system is loaded, but there is also a certificate from which the sticker was taken, a seal from that certificate package, and so on. Did you get all those things, or just the sticker? If you have a receipt with the sticker number on it, seems to me microsoft could be possibley persuaded to honor that as they will honor licenses distributyed by schools on printer slips.
If Humanware didn't send you the certificate along with the sticker, I would expect them to have record of the certificate matched with the serial number it goes with. They certainly shouldn't be charging you for another copy of the license they already solg you once. Just the suggestion to buy a new license to replace a sticker rather than the suggestion that they'd help you work it out with Microsoft seems less than customer friendly to me. And the threat you might be in trouble with microsoft is a lousy tactic to sell another license. Worst case you might have to pay microsoft another license fee, but I would be really surprised. How did you end up with a new version of WINDOWS to license without having the sticker put on your unit?
