<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 8088229, member: 100459&quot;]I haven&#039;t looked at this thread for a day or two, but I just thought of something that will or has affected the use of Microsoft products.&nbsp; A couple of months ago, I signed on to EXCEL and found it was frozen and I got a note from Microsoft, telling me that I would have to pay an annual usage fee of $99 to use their product.&nbsp; I tried to reboot, but got the same message.&nbsp; EXCEL was locked.&nbsp; I then check Word and got the same message.&nbsp; When I contacted Microsoft, I told them that I had &quot;bought&quot; the Microsoft package a few years ago.&nbsp; Why did I have to start paying ransom for the use of something I already paid for.&nbsp; I was told it did not give me the right of using Microsoft in Perpetuity.&nbsp; I was told that if I tried to modify a Microsoft product for use, I would be in violation of my license to use the product.</p><p>Anyone else go through this stuff by Microsoft?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
