Re: [WIN8] Used up my activation allotment on one PC With Windows 8 we don't have much of a choice as to how long we can delay activation. My installation started demanding that it be activated on the day after the day of the install. That's either on day one or day two depending on how you count the days.
If the OP was having unresolved hardware problems after each reinstall/activation it is easy to see how he'd have used up his three free reinstalls - perhaps in less than a week. |

How many times did you "activate" W8 within that two week period? |

No problem if you were using the same hardware. The OP was replacing faulty hardware each time. |

I've done at least 5 on the same system in a single day without issue. |

I've done at least 5 on the same system in a single day without issue. But was there a major hardware change between activations? That's what kicks off the need to activate again and/or activation failing. |
