Got a machine with an OEM license that Ive just had to do a reinstall and its looking to be activated. But it cant connect to the activation servers.
Has MS turned off the activation servers?

HMM. Thanks. I will keep trying.

Is it defintely able to connect to the internet? You haven't got a missing driver somewhere along the line have?

Im posting from it right now![]()

Yeah I have this problem in schools.
Wonder what port the activation runs on, perhaps it is blocked by firewall?

Ive never had a problem before. Its set for unfiltered unrestricted access to the internet just now.

Just activated by phone and it worked fine.

The activation process has always been a bit flaky to me. PITA.
