Windows Activation Issues (seems to be down).

[Cazale]

Just a warning: Microsoft's systems seem borked at the moment.

 

I was trying to activate a PC for a couple of hours and just getting errors, tried the smartphone option and it just kept kicking me out, finally tried the telephone activation option and after entering the entire ID number twice it just kept crashing and chucking me out. The last time, it threw me into a telephone support queue (which took forever to answer), only to be told they are having issues, and to ring back another day!

 

So there's definitely something up their end. The entire activation system seems to be down.

 

Just thought I'd give you a heads up in case anyone has been banging their heads on the table (like I have!).
