Re: windows Activation Key ?

You need to choose the option to activate by phone.
Then call Microsoft at the displayed number, usually done in less than
10 minutes.

When the online activation fails, you should see an option there to use the
telephone to activate. Select that option and call. Go through the automated
steps and then wait. A service rep will come on the line and activate the
system for you.
