Windows won't activate? It's not my problem and it's not with my key, it's DEFINITELY on your end and a result from your stupid servers being stupid. Thanks for the precious answers, I have tried to run Melodyne from inside Studio One and as standalone ( as you suggested); and it stops me at the enter serial number /product key pop up. Meoldyne downloaded so I assume it was included in my bundle and your site lists it too. Why can't I activate Windows? Content provided by Microsoft. A different product key or version of Windows was used during repair.

I just installed W10 Pro to my machine via the upgrade and have not done a 'clean install' yet as I am remoted in from work. I checked to make sure that the install went through successfully on the activation side and it says 'Windows can't activate. Try again later.'
Under Edition it states -- Windows 10 Pro and for Activation it states -- 'Connect to the Internet to activate Windows', yet I am able to download drivers for my GPU and navigate the internet without any issues.
Is anyone else having a similar issue?
EDIT: This is a legitimate activation key that I have for Windows 8.1, so that is not an issue either.
UPDATE: I tried spamming it ~100 times and it has since activated properly. I just got done doing a clean install after the clean install went through and it activated without any hassle at all. I followed the steps of an article from LifeHacker and it worked like a charm.

I have a Windows 10 pro license on my computer. This is the free upgrade from Windows 7 so everything is legit here. Then I decided to install Hyper-V and install Windows 10 on it. I do that, install it, do all of the updates and now when I try to activate it I get this error message 'We can't activate Windows on this device right now. You can try to activating again later or go tot he store to buy genuine Windows. Error code: 0x803FABBD'
I clicked on the troubleshoot link in the same page and it wont activate stating their was an unexpected error has occurred but I can click on the 'I changed hardware...' and the error I get is 'We can
My Serial Key Wont Activate Account
Finally I tried to search that error code on google and surprisingly I got nothing. So ya I this point I need help here. I was thinking perhaps its because its a free upgrade license and not the 'genuine' one like on a sticker label for example.
