Hi I have a problem with my windows 7 cd-key: its not activating. I relatively recently bought a CD key from ebay that was supposedly legit. Install went fine but now it wants me to activate my CD key. I have tried online and the automated phone service but neither has worked. Now, my 1st guess is that the CD key was not legit but the guy did provide a photo of the CD key attached to his laptop and insists that the key is good. Assuming that the key is not legit, is it a problem? What I mean is that will all my programs work? Do I retain full windows functionality? EDIT: I tried activating online with a different license key (the one I'm using on my main PC). This time it gave an error 0xc004f063. It says " The software licensing service reported that the computer BIOS is missing a required license". I'm running an old Asus Striker Extreme 680i SLI, could that have anything to do with it?
I can walk in a computer shop and make a photo of the COA key attached to a Windows 7 system too, can i become a ebay seller now? Now serious, did you really expect it to be genuine? on ebay? ...for just a few $? ...sigh
You are Right,he has been scammed... Now Only way is to get your money back or probably use a Loader...
lol? Everything u would have needed for a "genuine" Win7 is offered by mdl. Download-links, activators/bios-mods, oem-slp keys & certs....
Well I was sent here by another forum. They said you guys would know what to do best. I took the risk that it was a scam. I said for 20$ it was worth the risk to go and see if it'd work. That being said, secr9tos, could you be a bit more specific on how I can do what you're saying?
