Common problems
Answers to the most frequent questions about Windows activation.
Why do I need phone activation?
Sometimes online activation fails (activation limits, temporary blocks or Microsoft checks). The phone method completes the activation with a Confirmation ID (CID).
I can't find "Activate by phone": what do I do?
On some Windows versions the button is called Get help: open it and choose phone activation. If you can't find either, contact us with a screenshot: we will help you, also with remote assistance.
I get an error during activation: how do I contact you the right way?
Go to Contact us and send: order number + a screenshot of the error. That way we can check and fix it much faster.
Still need help?
Write to us: we reply quickly about activation, orders and invoices.
