    Well, you need wait for some seconds for it to show product ID and then click "View Details In Windows Activation".

    Maybe you used IPv6 by default, or you used the IPv4 address provided by others.

    Try to search drivers for any of those devices for Windows 8.

    Can you update Windows on a unactivated Windows 8 Pro with WMC? Is the only think not being activated does, give you a nag screen every 3 hours?

    A few questions.
    If there's an information in the first post added that certain server is offline, does this mean I can't activate my copy at the moment? If so, how long can I stay unactivated? When a new server crop up will I be able to activate and still be activated when the server becomes offline? Sorry for newbie questions, but I had to ask. I'm not sure if I'm ready to make a switch Win8 as my daily driver.

    180 days it will stay activated, check it on "System Properties".

    The problem is, it uses a new thing, OA3.0, also the developers were not quite interested.

    I read the FAQ & the repository, so pardon me for this dumb query.... What is the difference between the Retail & the Volume keys (for installing Windows 8 RTM)? Which one is preferred?
