Re: activation code hacked

How do you know it is in use? Are you trying to reactivate? If so, of course
it is in - by YOU, when you first activated the system.

Continue on to the phone activation option.

RE: activation code hacked



If you have been using the activation code for two months why are you now
trying to reactivate? Did you reinstall? Did you change any of your hardware?
Added any external hard drives? Did the OS come preinstalled on a new
computer? If not, did you update or do a clean install? Did you activate your
product key during the installation process?

You are asking someone to help you but you do not provide any pertinent
information.

Re: activation code hacked

He doesn't need to answer your questions. He didn't ask WHY. He asked how to
do it. Whatever caused it to ask for activation is immaterial to his
question in this case. All he has to do is activate by phone.

When he gets around to asking "why" it happened, all sorts of questions will
be asked - if he doesn't give the particulars.

RE: activation code hacked

Who is "HE" when you say "he says my code is already in use"

And learn some manners Urban; oh sorry, you are too old to do that!.

Re: activation code hacked

instead of asking stupid questions , cb and mick try to be normal and help
someone.
i didn't ask a hard question .
i'm not trying to reactivate and i din't reïnstalled it.
the OS asks on a sudden moment for activation and when i did it, he says my
code is already in use . wich means that i can't do windows update anymore .

but i think richard has been a good help by telling me to acivate by phone

( sorry for my english )
