1 out of 5 stars Prohibited Software - Cannot Register   December 15, 2009

I should have read the other reviews more carefully.

I cannot register this with Finale and I cannot use this program. Finale will no longer register academic software sold by Amazon.com or anyone else at Amazon.com. They also said that Amazon's own policy prohibits the sale of academic software which they agreed to do. But they do not enforce this policy and they let anyone including Amazon sell academic software. See below to read their their policy regarding the prohibition of selling academic software.

I have sent a dozen email to Amazon but they will not refund my money. All they say is that the software is not defective and just register it. But I cannot register it. Now I am stuck with wasting $300, I cannot use the program and Amazon is doing nothing about it.

Stay clear of this and all academic software.

Shame on Amazon.

5 out of 5 stars Very powerful   November 19, 2009

I'm a music student and got Finale to use in class. The academic version works fine and I didn't have any issues getting it through Amazon. Finale is very powerful but quite intuitive and easy to use.

I purchased this product to help arrange music pieces for a small plucked string ensemble. Some in the group don't read notation. This software, with a couple of clicks, converts notation into Tab so quickly I had to do it twice just to see if it was real. Very happy.

This software is useless. It cannot be register nor activated. Please call MakeMusic or Finale directly if you do not believe me.

I called Finale about the comment that this software is prohibited to be sold on Amazon.com. ( The comment is now gone, it must have been removed by Amazon) I was told that Finale will not register nor activate any academic software sold on Amazon.com by any company. They said the academic qualifications are not checked (cannot be checked per Amazon regulations) and is sold to anyone which is a violation of Finale agreements. Just buy any academic software and they will not ask you for your School ID.

Amazon.com even sells this item and other academic software. I am outraged that Amazon.com no only does allows this activity to continue which is against their Policy but they participate in violating their our Policy. Please write to Amazon to stop this fraudulent activity.

Shame on Amazon.com SHAME SHAME

1 out of 5 stars PROHIBITED SOFTWARE   August 3, 2009

Prohibited Software
As per Amazon.com Policies, only full retail versions of software may be sold through Amazon.com. Additionally, please be aware that OEM, academic, promotional, beta, NFR, back-up, recopied, and freeware & shareware versions of software are prohibited.

Sellers cannot verify academic eligibility of customers since policies prohibit this and they are violating thier agreements with Microsoft. I reported this to Microsoft and they are investigating and possible impacts to customers purchasing this product. Please call Microsoft if you do not believe me.

Amazon.com is violating their own policies and sell directly to customers. Maybe their own policies do not apply to themselves.
