Activating Windows 7 7100


Recommended Posts

That's not true. There was a period of time, (I'm not sure if it was before or after the release time) where the key page was giving unique keys. Both of the ones I have do not appear on the internet anywhere.

Reread what I wrote. I never said that no on got anything but those 10 keys, only that many (the majority?) of people got keys from that pool of 10. What I said IS true, when you actually bother to read WHAT I WROTE, instead of reading what you THINK I wrote.

@artnada - Oh okay, I didn't know about that! Thanks for the info!

Then stop stating your uninformed opinions as fact when others are telling you that you are wrong.

Or next time someone can correct me rather than telling me I'm wrong.

=) I stand corrected. Thanks for the info.

No problem. I'm just surprised that so many people immediately jumped on my comment to say how wrong I was, when what I wrote was 100% correct.

Yeah I just misunderstood your reply a bit, I thought you were claiming that there were ONLY 10 keys which had been handed out to everyone. I didn't know about the crash until artnada told me about it.

Anyway no offense, we're all here to help eachother. Cheers.

I think several people read the word "only" into what I wrote and assumed that I was wrong because they happened to have been among the ones who got unique keys before the crash. I was just making the point that those 10 keys are publicly available to anyone who wants to use them.

I leave it unactivated and wait for 5th May just in case they are handing out new keys

That makes no sense. Why would you do that when it is well established that the same keys from the beta work? It's not like they are going to suddenly make those keys stop working.

I keep trying to use the keys to activate Windows 7 build 7100 and an error pops up saying " The product key will not work for this edition of Windows 7. You must either run windows setup or enter a Windows 7 Home Premium product key. I only have 28 days left to activate Windows. How can I get Windows activated.

There's the clue.

I bet you're trying to use one of the public "Ultimate" keys, but you've actually installed "Windows 7 Home Premium".

Re-install as Ultimate and your key will work.

All you have to do is register for a key on ms's site. Enter that bam activated and legit. I got the leaked rc, registered for a beta key and it worked fine.
