Without wanting to hijack the thread, I'm sure I read it somewhere on the piece of card the activitation code was on for .mac it must be activated within 9 months of purchase.
I am still using the two month trial so I haven't gone through the activation process. I must admit, I wish I'd bought the other copies of it now they had, at £15 each it could well have been worth a punt!

i got the .mac for £15 but am waiting for my free trial to end in 47 days. i hope that's ok.
