You are now chatting with 'Skylar'

Skylar: Hello and welcome to Software Center Support! My name is Skylar and I am your software specialist. What questions can I help you answer today?

Sean: When i tried to activate my product code windows said to many activations

Skylar: May I access your computer to solve your problem from here?

Sean: ??

Sean: Uhm, hello...

Skylar: yes

Sean: Why do you need access to my computer for a PID problem?

Skylar: pid?

Sean: Product ID? again, the PID you sent me says too many activations...

Skylar: i have to check for the error message

Sean: Skylar, the error message is from microsoft saying that the product code you sent me has too many activations, and they wont activate that code any more, i simply need a PID that is valid for my install!

Skylar: i have to check for the product

Skylar: and then the key

Skylar: and i will solve the probem

Sean: check what?

Sean: here is key 27H4W-H22XX-VQXH3-76994-XKH9G

Skylar: May I access your computer to solve your problem from here?

Sean: how are you going to access the computer that needs the paid for activation code?

Skylar: have you orderede from us yet?

Sean: when i clicked on the chat button it asked for my order number...seriously!

Sean: Are you for real? i bought W7 from you and am simply asking for a valid activation code.

Skylar: we provide the activation code via email

Skylar: pls install the product and use the key provided

Sean: i did

Skylar: how?

Sean: skylar, seriously, stop with the run around, i installed the software, input key 27H4W-H22XX-VQXH3-76994-XKH9G, microsoft says too many activations, just give me another key please.

Skylar: the key is 100% GENUINE

Skylar: one key is valid for one computer only

Skylar: do not use it on more than one computer

Sean: yes, at one time it was, but microsoft says the VOLUME LICENSE key you sent to me is no longer valid, i have only tried it on one computer

Skylar: just allow me access and i will solve the problem

Sean: access to what? the computer that doesnt work because of an overused PID?

Skylar: you can simply install windows

Skylar: and activate it later

Skylar: the computer works

Skylar: and dsiplays activation required message.

Skylar: if not activated.

Sean: yes, but thats not what i paid $70.00 for
