I affix the sticker to the box as instructed by the MS overlords. I do not wish to anger them.

This is TRUE. Why else would the MS license code sticker, be printed with the license key in ink on top, without any plasticized layer covering it? My laptop's other stickers, with the serial numbers, etc., are covered in a layer of protective plastic. Guess which sticker wore off already, on a laptop purchased last year? You got it.

This thread is 3 years old . Nice, OP...

Why dont you just start a new thread? Half these people arent on the forums any more.

You are not the forum police, that's my job. If you think a post breaks a rule, then you should use the Report Post button.
