Hmmm....don't get me started about doing the phone activation. I spent three
hours on the phone with some guy in India (no lie) trying to figure out why
my copy (and yes, it is a legit copy of Ultimate (upgrade)) won't activate.
At first, it showed 30 days to activation. Then it changed to three days
after a day or so. Now it's back to 25 days. I ahve so many numbers he gave
me, a case number, etc, etc....
