You may have seen that commercial of an old computer with money flying out of it on Canadian network channels. It claims that your old software can owe you up to $250 with no receipts required. A loud guy talks at the beginning of the commercial and then a quiet and calm guy talks at the end saying it's not a lie. You may think that is just some trade for cash system for any old software if you are not paying attention to the commercial. This is actually a Class Action Lawsuit against Microsoft Canada for illegally increasing pricing on their products. People who bought PC versions of Microsoft MS-DOS, Windows, Office, Word, Works, and/or Excel between 1998 and 2010 for use in Canada could be eligible for $250. You do have to require some proof of purchase if you are claiming more than $250 for individual software licenses or more than $650 for volume licenses. It seems like the commercial makes it sound so easy until you visit the website. If you do have a Microsoft software that meets the requirements for compensation, then you can make a claim until September 23rd, 2021.
