Hi All,
Almost a year ago, I was able to upgrade my genuine win7 (that came with the laptop) to win8 by just paying ~1k. I've built a PC recently and tried using the same key. Unfortunately, the key doesn't activate due to the below:
"Activation server has reported that the product key has exceeded it's unlock limit"
I googled for it and I believe it needs to be activated via phone. Although, I can get this done, the end result is that I can run genuine windows only on 1 system. Either my PC or my laptop.
I'm looking for ways to buy win8. Are there any cheap offers? Any student offers? If so, please do let me know. I'm definitely not willing to pay up 10k to get a genuine copy of win8.
TIA.
