Inctye Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Curse you all who were able to get it to work in just a few tries. (just kidding) If 15 tabs can't get me a key, I don't know what will. :angry: Anyway, I just ran a script that is as good as a key and got this all wrapped up. Good night all.

hoosier28 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I'm thinking that maybe because I don't live in america is why I can't get one..unless someone can tell me otherwise I think i may go to sleep lol Well, I live in America and I still can't get one. I just think it's all based on luck. Either you have it or you don't.

WelshBluebird Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Still no key here either. I just don't see how MS, one of the worlds biggest (if not the biggest) tech companies can underestimate demand by so much. Surely they must have known that it would create huge pressure and demand on their servers.

flyers257 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hi all, I just made an account and figured I'd chime in here. After pressing f5 to no avail i downloaded the check4change add-on for firefox and set it to refresh every second on 3 tabs. I got one code within 15 mins, and another one in about 30 mins. I'm trying for a third now. I was wondering, how many activations to you get with each key? btw, it still works, so keep trying. i highly recommend an automated system to give your finger a rest and save some time.

Congratulations, hopefully I will be as lucky as you Hi all, I just made an account and figured I'd chime in here. After pressing f5 to no avail i downloaded the check4change add-on for firefox and set it to refresh every second on 3 tabs. I got one code within 15 mins, and another one in about 30 mins. I'm trying for a third now. I think I'll have to try that one, I've run out of ideas. If you do manage to get some more keys would you be able to sneak one in for me?
