| | Just do it again. I got the same error but then I tried again after and it worked. The problem is just that it is timing out from the servers and you need to get through. So just keep trying. EDIT: Oh and BTW Welcome to Seven Forums!! |

| | Are people still having issues? I'd hate to have to "phone" up Microsoft to activate a product. Spesh since i'm in the UK. I imagine there's just so many people activating that.. well the servers can't handle it. Oh btw - does it matter that although i have a Windows 7 Key i haven't installed 7 and used it yet? The thing won't decline me tomorrow will it? |

| | Product Keys There are 5 keys and they are not unique. At least for 2 Windows ID's at my house. I found that if I refreshed at the product key screen I could get 5 keys. I went to another pc and logged on with a different ID and tried again and got the same 5 keys.... Unless they look at your IP of course... I did not reboot my DSL router to try that...  |

| | Hi duluthgeek, You are right - there are in fact 10 , 5 for 32 bit and 5 for 64 bit. You can also use the 32 bit key to activate 64 bit installation and vice versa. Hope it helps SIW2 |
