Thank you, but I don't see anything there about the offer? Someone told me if you report the counterfeit seller and give Microsoft the counterfeit software you could be eligible for a free copy or for a discounted kit or something? I didn't see anything about that on the website you provided, am I missing it somewhere?

That’s on the accompanying pages – but may not apply in your area.Fill in the counterfeit report.

Certainly it’s in effect in the US and the UK.
