Hello, having this issue myself.
Specify from whom the Windows 8 media and what type of key was purchased?
OutletPC.com, OEM.
Has any piracy software been installed and removed – including Watermark removers?
No.
Please provide a short description of how and when the issue you are experiencing evolved.
Some hours after installing Windows on a PC I built myself, and after it accepted the key on the package during installation, I began receiving alerts to activate Windows. I attempted to do so, and get errors that it cannot activate. The link for error details gave me a blank box.
Here's my readouts:
I also ran the error in the first readout through that command in the sticky thread, and got this: The Software Licensing Service reported that the product key is not available.
I've called Microsoft about it, and confirmed with at least 3 agents that my key is valid. They've advised me to run repair from the install disc, but thought I'd run it by folks here first.
