I have Release Preview installed to my machine and successful activated RTM in VM. It is possible to copy store folder from VM to RTM after a clean install and it will be activated? The fact is that is the same hardware and should be theoretical working and I could have RTM activated.
Now I will format also notebook and install win8, hope that this activation way will work in half hour...
Make sure you're DNS servers are set to 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 run a ipconfig /flushdns Reboot and try again? Try a few more times too.
I guess it will not display a separate message window instead it will show the message in the CMD... (experts confirm plz)
