Ah, then you're very much within your rights to get a refund or credit. After all, they can't blame you for following the instructions on the licence itself! As a multitude of other people on this list have pointed out, the consumer courts are probably the best place to take this issue to. However, I'd let the vendor know that I was planning to approach the consumer court beforehand, to give them a chance to be gentlemen/gentlewomen/gentlepersons-of-indeterminate-gender, play nice and refund the money before their name gets dragged in the mud. On a side note, if this becomes common I wonder what changes MS is going to make in their licence? :) Will they remove the ``if you do not agree'' section altogether? Or are they required by law to keep it there? IANAL, TINLA.
