Hello eightforums!
Long story short
I installed windows 8 pro to my second laptop. A few weeks later, I decided I would input my 2nd WMC Code (I have 2 of them) After adding WMC to my laptop, it automatically rebooted after adding the features but now my laptop isn't activated anymore.
Solutions I tried:
Activating Windows via:
1. Re inputting my Windows 8 pro product key - That didnt work
2. Re inputting WMC code - That didn't work either.
3. Restarting laptop
I checked my 1st laptop's product key (which has wmc too) and it was different to my 2nd laptop which also has Wmc. From what I see, inputting my second Wmc code seems to have broken my activation. Is there any other solutions to solve this apart from clean install?
