macropod...I guess it's not over with!

I installed and all seemed to go OK until I tried to activate. It failed to activate online, so I tried by phone and it again failed. So, I reluctantly ran KMSpico that was on that supplemental CD. It ran without a hitch and replied that it was now activated.

However, I think even I could write and compile a simple BASIC program with a simple graphical interface where when I click on a button, it comes back and say that it's activated. Is there any way to tell if it actually activated, did nothing, or perhaps did something locally to actually "activate" Office so as to override any Office actions as if it was normally activated?

Thanks!
