pls help "windows cant activate try again later" error

Oh and I thought it's "only me", i'm going crazy....I upgraded first from win 8.1 via windows update and the upgraded win 10 was activated but then I wanted to make a clean install via Microsoft tool and I am getting the same error. I hope this is a temporary stuff and I don't have to install win 8.1 again and upgrade and all that stuff

At activation it says: Connect to the internet to activate windows but when I hit activate it says: "Windows can't activate, try again later"

 

you must upgrade first in order to activate your key for w10. Then u can do a clean installation mate

 

thanks for the heads up mate so when the servers are cool it will activate itself then I can start a clean install hopefully

 

Yes, just make sure the upgrade definitely activates first.

 

thats what 'Im trying to get but I guess servers are too busy to respond so I'm stuck with the upgrade for a while

 

as said clean installed from a upgrade... it was activated

 

sorry I thought u had a problem about activating ur w10. Then enjoy mate

 

just hit the Activate as mad!.... maybe change region... I HIT the button for ~100 times and now it activated!

 

lol i do have a problem... i did a upgrade sucessfully it was activated...clean installed after and says key blocked...

 

I had this issue several weeks ago when I first installed W10 build 10240 when it was first available after a while eventually it did get past the try later windows cant activate screen and did activate ok so I suspect server issues here
regards

 

I had no faith but after your message, I hit it like 20 times and now it's activated time for a clean install

 

1- Log in to your account windows store

2- Go to Start icon Home button, then select Settings> Update and security> Activation.

3- Select Go to the store and make sure a valid license is available for your device

4- Check and Done

I have to report that hitting the activate button 100 times works

NICE ONE: Win 10 addicteds/crazies DDOSing MS Activation Servers .

MS we're really sorry for causing this mess . MDL is definitely guilty here, no question.

 

OK, just upgraded using the media tool but now I can't activate. It didn't ask me for a key so I guess it toke my one from Win8.1 (Dreamspark).
It says my actual key ends in 3V66T when obviously that's not my key. Is this normal?
If it is then should I wait for the microsoft servers to be active again?

 

Just keep calm and don't do this...

Maybe they did that and got what they deserve?

But I didn't.

I know exactly what I did (and even recorded it). I can't pretend that nothing happened.
