I downloaded an .iso from digital river (x-17-58997) http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_install/windows-7-home-premium-64bit-iso-download/709dcc12-d120-435d-91cd-52e1dd0f4c24

 

I installed it, went through setup, then typed in activation code. When I got to the desktop and opened my computer it said that the code was not valid. I used the phone verification system, I told the phone a bunch of numbers, then it gave me a bunch of numbers to input in boxes on PC labeled A-H. After that I clicked next and it said that it was verified and now says windows is activated where it said windows code is invalid. I also see a picture that says, "ask for genuine microsoft software."

 

I am here just to make sure I am done with everything now right? Windows is activated and it is all good?

I cannot imagine using the phone system. That must of been a barrel of monkeys. Well, if it is activated, it's activated. Congrats! You have a valid copy of windows.

:blink:

wasn't the worst. The computer voice got very excited and had a different tone of voice every time I successfully typed in six numbers. I guess there is nothing like positive reinforcement. :P
