Who exactly told you this: "When i ordered it it said it would work on 3
pc's / laptops"? Was it posted on a website? If you have proof, you might
be able to get the vendor to send you another license.

Consumer oriented Microsoft Windows OS packages generally allow installation
on only one computer.

I personally think you may have confused some words you heard or saw that
really applied to some software package other than a Microsoft Windows OS.
Many Symantec packages allow installation on three computers belonging to
one owner. Many Adobe packages and Microsoft Office packages allow
installation on one desktop and one laptop computer belonging to one person.
