Hey guys, I have successfully obtained a product key for Windows Media Center through the current Microsoft giveaway. However, I have attempted to obtain another key, which will be used on the media center computer I am building for my parents. I requested keys using about 5 different email addresses last weekend, so its been 3+ days, and so far I haven't received anything in reply. Can anyone confirmed you received an WMC key from Microsoft in the last 48 hours or so? I suspect their automated systems have just become bogged down with requests and are processing them as fast as possible, which is still slower than the expected 72 hours. Anyone know if they're doing anything weird like "one key per IP address" or something like that? I believe I have requested keys from both my home and work internet connections without success, so I'm not sure WTF else to do.
Many thanks, guys. That's exactly why I came to this forum. My Digital Life is awesome I'll just hunker down and be patient.
the server handling the requests and posting the keys out is running on Windows RT..... so be very patient or maybe Julie Larson-Green is just too busy redecorating her new office with tiles to care about your request for a key....
i emailed for one 9 days,4days and 2days ago with different emails and i haven't received one yet,so i thought i'd see if i could buy one,a store salesman sold me win 8 pro pack with wmc,told me it was win 8 pro with wmc,couldn't do anything with it as i already had pro,got a refund anyway,i rang microsoft for one and they couldn't give me one over the phone,why do they make it so hard to get wmc.
Did you really bought an pirated Windows 8 Pro with WMC from an Store? Best at moment maybe would be: install Windows 8 Pro (may you use the Windows 8 Pro WMC Pack you bought) use an MS Client Key for installation (check on MDL and/or MS for those Key) activate using KMS (read the stickies at MDL) and wait for the WMC Key to arrive or buy one from MS for US$ 9.99 After activation with KMS you could at any time access the Add Features to Windows 8 way to key in or buy an WMC Key for the WMC to work on your already KMS activated Windows 8 Pro.
First: Posting of key's are against the rules! second: once a key used once could use on the same computer again only NOT any other!
Is this anywhere confirmed or just guessing? Never tested it and I just don't belive things that many people just write as it is one of the most dicusses issue (also with many people that just rewind catch-phrases)
^^ I think u misunderstand the key he was posting. "pl33s-d0n0t-r3qst-k3ys-h3r3" means : Please dont request keys here
Rule 3.4 No requesting, posting or sharing of keys and serials, especially unique keys of paid applications. Exception: Generic OEM_SLP keys of windows OS are allowed since they are universal at preinstalled systems. ( the latter has been changed after DCMA) ...and sum of us have a sense of humour
I've been trying for over a week to get my hands on 1 key but no luck so far. I have tried everything, different IPs, different emails gmail,hotmail,aol,yahoo(x3)..any suggestions?
