Can'y activate Windows and k*k Microsoft service

[ZA.Schmidt]

As I said, all I have is the windows CD key or whatever- NOTHING else.

 

[ZA.Schmidt]

IIRC, after the 30 days has gone, it will still let you activate (I stand to be corrected) and if you can't do anything on the lappie, then a crack isn't gonna cut it either no?

But how can I set up an internet connection if I can't do anything other that their stupid activation thing?

 

[Conradl]

Then select the option to activate by telephone, it generates a number that you type into the phone, which generates another number that you type into your PC. Good luck bro, gotta run!

^^ what Conradl said

 

[ZA.Schmidt]

Those numbers DON'T WORK! Try them yourself and you'll see.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Ok, lemme try a step by step ....... first, what happens when you turn the laptop on?

 

[ZA.Schmidt]

I get the 'Let's activate Windows!' screen, which prompts me to choose to do it via internet or phone.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

so you choose phone ..... is that where you get phone numbers that are irrelevant?

 

[ZA.Schmidt]

I get two to choose from. Neither work, but you can try them yourself.

0800 99 56 37
0112570000

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

ok, that number is gished, but the ones Conradl provided work?

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

080 143 4343 is the new number ......

activate via phone.

you will need to key in the installation id on the screen at the voice prompts

then she will give you back 25 characters which you must use on your laptop into the boxes

yep, it's that easy ...... obviously the phone numbers being different caused a wee bit of stress, but ja, eezy peezy.

 

[ZA.Schmidt]

Yes! All working now.

0801434343 DOESN'T WORK. That was the whole point of the thread.

Sorry man... i dont think you can crack that version of windows, now thats its been locked... you will need to activate via the internet if u cant get hold of M.S support team here in South Africa.

One other thing... If you boot into safe mode... thats it give you access to the system or does it lock you out and ask u to activate windows
