Solved Activation key does not work anymore

[jumanji]

Oddly enough when I called today the person at the other end didn't have any trouble giving me the numbers that goes in the step 3 of the activation by phone option. I now have a successful activation.

Thanks for all the information you gave me guys, helped a bit.

Thats good to know but doesn't speak well of Microsoft's Phone activation live which kept you confused and under tension for quite sometime with the three activation theory. What changed? Only the person at the other end, I presume.

My guess is that the first person simply didn't understand and assumed you were doing something shady. It's unfortunate that these things happen, but glad you got through it and thanks for keeping us informed. Hopefully this thread will be useful to somebody else someday.

Sure, here's the new diagnostic. I hope you don't mind me removing the key and hash, since it's information I don't really like sharing.

Thanks for that - the Key in use here is a Retail ne, rather than OEM, and the rest of the report looks fine to me,

FWIW< there is nothing sensitive in the report - there are many thousands on them ponsted on MS's own forums.
Anything sensitive has already been excised by the tool - such as the first two groups of characters in the Product Key. What's left is sufficient to be unique, but not sufficient to allow use of the Key, or to make it discoverable in any real sense. The hash is almost irrelevant, since many machines will almost certainly share the same hash.
