Hi.
I swapped out my faulty HDD, which was my seondary drive, but the wierd thing is my OS in on an SSD. So I dont get why I now cant activate it. I reformatted my SSD and installed Windows again, but that shouldnt be the problem cause I have done that serveral times, without any problems. Can anyone help?

You serious thats it? because when I read the internet it seems to be a mess :/ but would be great if it worked though. I'll contact them tomorrow, and be sure to come back with an update in here. Thanks!

What you have to do is use the telephone method when activating. It's on the same screen where you activate via the Internet. Select telephone, your country and dial that number. Tell them the code that's generated by your activation wizard. If it's verified, it will read a confirmation back to you. Input the codes into the letter boxes, and you're done.
The process is mostly automated, so you won't be talking to a live person, unless there is some problems.
