Re: Activation Fails

Windows Vista refuses to activate:

This could be a result of a time out session on the Server, I recommend you
try again later, you have a grace period of 14 days, so immediate activation
of the software is not mandatory or necessary, just make sure it is done
within the grace period or the software will go into reduced functional mode
and require activation before continued use.

You can try phone activation if you wish, persons have reported it works.

Re: Activation Fails

This is most likely a networking issue from the error message.
I suspect that the network automatic tuning is clashing with a part of your
network!

open a command window in administrator mode and type the following then
retry ...

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

This disables the auto tuning.
