I am trying to activate Windows 8 Enterprise.  However, the workstation I'm running it on is not able to connect to the Internet.  So, I select "Activate over the phone".  However, the "Click nearest location" is greyed out.  The default is set to Afghanistan, which unhelpfully lists a toll number to call in Afghanistan...which would work if I lived in Afghanistan, but I don't.  Other than pluggint the system into the Internet is there a way to activate my copy of Windows 8 Enterprise over the phone?  I need a toll free US number.

My apologies, I should have been more specific.  I downloaded Windows 8 Enterprise from the Springboard Series link:  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/hh699156.aspx.  I did not download it from Technet, MSDN, the Partner Network or Volume Licensing/Software Assurance.

Thank you for the quick response.

As the article said, you need a MAK key.

I appreciated the tip.  However, it is not the answer to my post.  I only need a toll free US phone number to complete over the phone activation.  Like I said in my original post, the drop-down selection box is greyed out and only shows a number for users in Afghanistan.

If phone activation for the evaluation version of Windows 8 Enterprise is unavailable, then THAT should be the answer.
