This.
I bought a maschine from GC and it had been returned, I know it pissed me off that I couldn't actually register and fully USE my purchase until NI contacted GC and deregistered with the former owner.
Still using the key, well, I'm not about to go on a tirade about piracy, but you can read my implied frownie face.
Put another way : would you be upset if you spent $900 US on something, waited for it to be delivered, took it home, got everything installed just right, start up your software and see : 'we're sorry, you can't use this unit because the serial number is associated with someone else's account. If you think this is a problem, please contact our technical support department and someone will to you. Eventually.'
Whichever, I'm trying to do that right thing here
I'll contact NI.
