Resolved: Busted By Microsoft!!! Stay Away!
Software King refunded the full price of the bootleg software they sold to me and my complaint with the BBB in Canada has been closed.
Better Business Bureau of Mainland B.C. gave Software King until January 17 for a response.
Software King has still not responded as of January 21, 2017.
The BBB marked in my complaint: "No Response from Business re: Consumer Rebuttal".
The BBB never responded to me either. Since I had not heard from either of them, I thought I should check the status myself.
Obviously the BBB in Canada is no better than Software King. I have always had good results with the BBB in the U. S.
I believe Software King is afraid to respond because they are being sued by Microsoft for selling counterfeit software.
Microsoft filed their lawsuit around the same time I filed my report to the BBB so the timing was terrible. I also filed a complaint with Microsoft and they never responded.
I am still holding software that is useless because Software King sold me a bad key I cannot use.

What's ironic is this company had a good reputation a few years ago and now are involved in criminal activity. I ordered twice from them a few years ago and received good service and software that works.
They suck now.
I have a pending case against them that I know is never going to be resolved because they missed their response date set by the BBB (in Canada). If I had known they were operating in Canada I never would have ordered from them.
I have Office 2016 too. It's the slowest thing even on a fast computer which is why I wanted to get Office 2010 Home/Student from Software King because I trusted them before. Now I have slow and worthless.
I just bought the full version of WordPerfect last month from Corel at a very steep discount.
I think I'm going to dump Microsoft once and for all. I filed a complaint with Microsoft too and they never responded.
I think the problem with the no responses is because Microsoft filed a lawsuit against Software King recently and nobody wants to admit guilt.
