&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;To check on this:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0.9pt 0pt 13.85pt"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'MS Shell Dlg','sans-serif'"&gt;Start&amp;gt;All Programs&amp;gt;Accessories&amp;gt;Run [OR: Click Windows Key+R] then type in the box: "winver" (without quotes) and hit Enter, you'll see expiration date there.&lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT face=Calibri size=3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Calibri size=3&gt;You have 180 days from the date you activated it.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
