Let's see, should I "help" Mr. Yip obtain this discount he didn't earn?
Well, giving away my own serial number would mean forfeiting the right to
use it myself, if I decided to upgrade my legally-purchased copy of
Sibelius. Since Sibelius keeps a record of who's entitled to that number,
if I give it out, I might get caught and lose the right to post my music on
Sibeliusmusic.com (a right I've stopped using for now because of the
newly-draconian Terms of Agreement, but which I may wish to use again if
the contract changes to something less onerous). Also, if Mr. Yip passes
my serial number along to "help" other people, I'd get the blame.

Conclusion: No, I'm not going to help.

By the way, Mr. Yip, when your students tell you they weren't cheating,
just helping, what do you plan to say to them?
