SnowDrifter Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 When I put in the product key to activate it, it keeps saying to try a different key or to double check and try again.And I am for sure putting in the proper key - it's the one on the little card that came with the win8 boxI've triple and quadruple checked that I'm typing it right and even had someone else do it. Still no-go. I'd take a screen shot, but I can't figure out how to do that either lol ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDrifter Posted April 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Alright.. I'm done. Microsoft wins. I'm upgrading to windows 7 again lol. If something as simple as a product activation is being a headache, I don't want to stick around and find out what the rest of it is like. I'll wait for windows 9 ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
