8.1 Asking for Activation months after install

[kingrollo]

Hello,

Please read this one carefully - as the problems seems quite common - but I can't use any of the fixes

I brought my zoostorm tower with out an OS - and purchased a copy of windows 8.1 OEM separatley from ebuyer.com

Everything was going fine - then suddenley when my PC booted up it asked me to activate and took me to pc settings where I get an error saying I couldn't activate - try again later or contact support.

A google on the the web tells me to run SLUI04 - which I do - but after selecting my country it just hangs - if I try and activate by telephone it just asks me for groups of numbers...which of course I don't have ?

Seem to be going round circles ! really fustrating - any ideas

The phone activation will ask for your Windows 8 license number. After you input that into the phone, it will check and give you back a long list of numbers that you put into the activation screen.
