RabbieBurns Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 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?
RabbieBurns Posted November 12, 2008 Author Posted November 12, 2008 HMM. Thanks. I will keep trying.
elsiegee40 Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Is it defintely able to connect to the internet? You haven't got a missing driver somewhere along the line have?
sparkeh Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Yeah I have this problem in schools. Wonder what port the activation runs on, perhaps it is blocked by firewall?
RabbieBurns Posted November 12, 2008 Author Posted November 12, 2008 Ive never had a problem before. Its set for unfiltered unrestricted access to the internet just now.
RabbieBurns Posted November 12, 2008 Author Posted November 12, 2008 Just activated by phone and it worked fine.
sparkeh Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 The activation process has always been a bit flaky to me. PITA.
