Legally, if you disagree with the EULA (which cannot be read until opening the box and installing the software, or redeeming the code), you are still entitled to a refund.
Problem for OP is, he accepted the EULA or he would not be reaching error 1017. So yes, OP, you are no longer eligible for a refund.

If it is really that bad for you, go outside and play with your new shiny $40 frisbee.
