Could you update me on how any of you are doing with the Microsoft
Licensing Claims?
I am trying to get ours taken care after receiving the letter from
Microsoft. Just wondered how others have handled this problem.
The last I read still left things up in the air as to what to do
next, what is needed.
Thanks,
Ann

I had the same thoughts. He assured me this was the case. However,
I guess maybe we should all call, put the various stories we get
together, and then maybe we can figure out the real deal. I am as
confused as everyone else, and I can only go by what they guy on
the phone told me. If he is wrong, I am screwed I guess, but I will
not go down quietly.

So do we need to send anything else to them? We all received a
letter to send more proof and only have 30 days to do so. If we
wait and the person you talked to is wrong....

No confusion from my guy. He said that the proof I submitted the
first time around should be enough. They are just doing the VLs
purchased straight from MS first. They have rounds of claims
lettered. A,B,C. The Select Licenses are in round C which hasn't
happened yet according to the guy I talked with. Apparently
Licenses purchased under the Select Program were not supposed to be
listed under the Volume License section even though they are Volume
Licenses. We were supposed to list them under the individual
license section. Did it say that somewhere I missed?
I am so confused. Lawyers.

Actually, I just talked to someone about the same thing. We bought
many of our licenses during that time period from SoftwarePlus (now
known as Softchoice). I was not impressed by the person talking
to me. She seemed to be more confused about the whole thing more
than me.

I just heard back from the claims people for the Microsoft
Settlement. The reason I received a letter saying Microsoft could
not find any Volume License records is because all of our volume
licenses were purchased through someone else under the Select
Agreement(i.e. Software Plus), therefore, all of our Volume
Licenses will be on a second report yet to come. He had no ETA on
that report. I hope this information might help someone else, as I
was on hold for about 1 hour.
Again, they raise my hopes. However, I am bracing for yet more
disappointment.
