Hi,
I have installed windows7 using the upgrade method and didn't untick auto activate when online ;but getting messages this may be a pirate copy etc when i try to activate on line manually i get error message and cannot activate.
This is a genuine upgrade disk from pc world, Can someone confirm that having the automatically register when on line box ticked that this will happen in the next few day and to ignor these messages
Regards
Call Microsoft...they can activate it over the phone for you. It takes about 6 minutes.
thanks for your response do you have the contact number?
Hi there
when you get your activation refused / problems it should give you other numbers for the country you are in (The call center is probably half way round the planet BTW but it should be a local number).
BUT IF YOU GOOGLE you should find these numbers. They'll direct you to the correct one.
