Visual Studio .Net Product Key Problem

Hi!
I was installing Visual Studio .Net to my new computer. I've never installed
any product of Visual Studio before to this computer. In the screen where I
should enter my product key, which came with the Visual Studio, there was a
product key already, which is not mine and the software doesn't permit me to
enter my key because the field is not editable. How can I fix this problem?

If you purchased VS.NET, I would consider contacting Microsoft. The norm for
not being able to enter a key is an MSDN subscription version of Visual
Studio .NET. You should be able to install fine. If you are legally licensed,
this is not necessarily a major issue, but contacting Microsoft might still
be in order as they track down pirates of software.

Hi Cowboy!
Thanks for the support. We are a legally licensed software company and we'll
contact Microsoft in a short time.
