atleeit Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 A very good point thealexweb, there are other ways to activate Windows 7 ;). I'll let you work out the rest. :p Hynesy you are right there are other way, but if you want to be a beta tester then submitting stuff to Microsoft, the best way is to do everything legit, byt the books.

leph555 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 If anyone has an extra 64-Bit key, I would absolutely love one. Yesterday I spent the whole day trying, and it looks like I am getting nowhere today either. Thanks in advance!

Inctye Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 the phone activation doesn't seem to be an option, only online activation Take a look at this. Although that is for Vista, it seems to be the exact same method. Works as others have confirmed. The important part is to enter some random 15-digit key during the install process. Then, after installing it will come out as invalid key with the phone option available.
