I tend to agree with CompProbSolv' speculation on the cause. &nbsp;All it would take is for one person to run a keyfinder on their work PC. &nbsp;They would then have the VLK to use on all their own systems, and from there it's an easy jump for the key to get out on the internet.

I have a valid VLSC with Microsoft but for the last month users are getting Activation is required with Office 2013. &nbsp;When I put in my activation code it tells me that it can't validate it to call MS to get a valid number. &nbsp;They assist me with a valid number but will not tell me why it's happening. &nbsp;Do you have any insight on what's wrong so I can fix it.<br />
