Microsoft apologizes for, but doesn't really fix, software validation snafu 

,----[ Quote ]
| Problems with the licensing server has left 
| some customers unable to use their apps for 
| more than a month
| 
| Microsoft today apologized and explained why 
| its Volume Licensing Service Center has been 
| refusing to allow some legitimate users to 
| access their Microsoft software for about 
| the past month. Microsoft updated its VLSC 
| in December and since then, some resellers 
| and users have been reporting problems. 
| Those affected include businesses purchasing 
| Microsoft software, or resellers and 
| integrators handling newly-purchased 
| software for business customers, according 
| to Computerworld.
