Ok, I spent 2 hours on the phone with support on friday to no avail, I was bounced around back and forth, I essentially learned that my key is valid.. ok, that does me no good if my product will not activate.
Yes, I tried everything mentioned here in the forums, re-enter key, phone activation, all the little command prompts etc.. MS even says my copy is genuine through the validation on the site..
I look at my dvd and it says Vista Ultimate on it, fine... I have Vista Ultimate, at least I think, or would think so anyway right?! I know there are other versions on the disc as well..
When I installed Vista I could not enter my key, it told me it could not identify my product key. So I opted to install without inputting the key, everything went fine till I tried to activate...
could the key I received be bad? could it be for one of the other versions?
the error I get when trying to activate is one that says it is already in use, and another that says it is not for Vista...
I'm confused... please help
