I unchecked online activation. I followed the exact process I always have but I just wouldnt activate. I tried a bunch of different certs and keys and still no luck, so I made my own and it works OK now, no worries. I wonder why it didnt work though *shrugs*
Ok if you mod by your own and it works thats good.. though Dell is the most common use here when modding gigabyte by the time Gigabyte slic and certificate is not available.. anyway thanks for feedback.
