I didn't even notice it was you who posted it, just rushed reply. I didn't get why you said rearm though, was lost how a unactivated rearm count shows that there's no limit to system that's activated and how many clean installs can be done, that's the reason I posted what I said. Hope you get what I'm trying to say.
Given that a Microsoft account is now required to log into Windows 10 for the first login, most legit keys will be associated with those accounts. If you make a phone call for reactivation the person on the other end will be able to see the keys you have tied to your ID and also if they are already currently online. My experience with phone activation's has been that they just go through the motions and give you a response code as long as there are no red flags against your name or key.
How do you mean? Local accounts still work, not? And how many times you have "called" ms using win 10, it got a HWID/Digital Entitlement activation, there isn't any need to call them.
Maybe I missed part of your conversation but you don't need to log in with a MS account, and no key are currently online if you're talking about windows 10, no keys were harmed in the activation of win 10 from 7 or 8.1 but this will change after fall update when they can be added to activate instead of allowing your HWID to get seen by the MS server. Only insiders are required to use a MS account to get win 10. P.S. Your avatar is the greatest.
I will admit that the tin foil hat crowd will not have as easy a time with phone activation as the rest of us, but I don't expect MS to reverse course and start charging for updates to Windows. They are simply publicly acknowledging what they have always done. Allow everyone to have windows and maintain the monopoly. Since KMS methods are available to activate windows it really does not make much sense to keep wringing your hands over nothing.
When did you get a computer, last week. Every Win version has been used for free, almost every app and game on the planet can be had for free, and you think charging for updates stops anyone.
