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.
