Well guys as the title says WA installs no problems at all but it simply will not start it comes up with - Sorry, but license date not valid yet.
It will become valid on 28-08-2005.
This Date can't be right because it refers too last month meaning it should already be valid i'm just hoping its a bad disc that quite a few people have been getting going too try getting a new copy tomorrow any solutions will still be appreciated.

Now i've searched the technical forums and theres no other thread i've seen that has anyway too fix this, i've tried my friends CD-key that doesn't work, i've re-installed normal dow and WA enough times i just cannot see where the problem lies help will be much appreciated.

actually most of us have this problem. try the manual install and the script install. maybe in the end trading in your discs for new ones might help.
