    Can some one with a different computer than 2415 confirm they have the same installation ID?

    What are the benefits of Activation on these Windows 8 milestones?

    I've tested and I don't get the same ID so even if its the same key, its not the same ID if its not the same computer with same components I guess, it will work if you need to reinstall it on the same computer, but not for someone else.

    I am using it as my everyday OS, but why do I need to activate? Can't we just rearm?

    The things i don't like about 7989: MSE doesn't get updated and Windows Update got f'up, too.

    I had tried MSE also, it didn't do any good for me, so I had gotten rid of it.

    Yep,

    tryed on two different computers, same key, same procedure....
    "as guys above well suggest"

    But two different installation ID's, different from that one posted, so no luck...

    As said, 1 rearm more, 60 days time to get a new leak....

    Tried activation just to report clearfully that it does not work, without phone activation....

    Enjoy the 7989 not activated, it does'nt change nothing with rearms....:D:D:D u are anyway geniune....


    nice goin'

    So I tried all three keys, All from my repository, all from post 150.
    The microsoft phone line rejected all of them.
    I disconnected from the internet, called them up.
    Btw, I'm in the US and i used a home (wired) phone.
    I believe i called the 1-800-725-xxxx number.

    It specifically said:
    "We're Sorry, we cannot complete this transaction. Our records indicate that this is not a valid windows product key"..
    Suggestions?
