I think if you get those School ones (like the ones you get on School PC's) they don't need to be activated because they want them to stick with Windows  | |

I have yet to have a single automated session work. Once the internet activation fails, I know the automated phone one will, too.

what do you do when neither the online activation and automated phone activation both don't work?

hmm, my reactivation worked fine...understood them well...but dang that india outsourcing, lol
I had to reactivate because customizing my mobo bios bootscreen is enough to do it...and I asked him if I fiddled with it again would I have to call...yes I would
I like fiddling with it...home photos of me and wife and family as bootscreen, loves it. Love Intel, and Microsoft! | |

nice post count 1234 
I'm going to wait until I get a Geforce 9 series video card and sp1 to activate again so I don't have to do it too many times
