Activation locked?
Have new computer and checking system see that I have only 18 days to
acivate. Press the appropriate 'activate now' but no response. Next to the shield there is a key which I presume indicates that the activation is locked. Any ideas fordealing with this problem. Vista home premium edition Thanks Richardm |
