[Info Update] Latest info update about requesting Activation Code

Latest update:
AM, 17/01/2011
Okay, up to this moment we have first few reports rergarding:
1. In the UK, M$ may ask users to provide IMEI but we are not 100% sure if they will generate Activation code or not to HD2's IMEI (some people provided HD2's IMEI but it was still accepted).
2. If you aren't lucky enough, M$ will require you to ring HTC or your network operator first, as they said that they do not issue Activation code any more.
The conclusion about microsoft's policy on HD2 is still unclear.

@16:00pm today, 15/01/2011; I rang to M$ support call centre in the UK and asked for a Window Phone 7 Activation Code. These are the outlines of my experience:
1/ The operator asked me for my Full name, Email address and Home Address to register to the system.
2/ He asked me about my Phone Manufacturer and Phone Model
(Is that a HTC HD7 sir?. Yes, that is)

3/ He asked me about the Serial Number of my phone.
as my phone is actually a HTC HD2, so I didn't give him my phone's serial number. Instead, I made up a story why I haven't got that HD7's serial number with me at the moment

.
This is your choice. You can make up a story or you can be honest with M$. Don't judge other people's decisions in here
4/ He said I should have it, but in this case, he will try to generate that Activation Code for me
5/ After waiting for 5 minutes, he was back with the code and he said I should keep this code very safe as this is an unique code for each customer. He also gave me a Reference Number in case I lose my Activation Code, I could ring them this the Reference Number and someone will take the code back for me.
6/ The operator was very polite and all the process was in very pleasant atmosphere.
Conclusion:
People are still disputing if it is legally right or not to get an WP7's activation code from M$ to use for HD2 phone. That is your decision. I'm not having any responsibility for anything happens to you.
I heard that some operator might be very flexible to generate you a code, some others might ask for more specific information about your phone (e.g, my case). I'm not 100% sure if their is an official action from M$ to against this or not. SO do it with your own risk!

Just do it like I did and tell them you don't know what phone model it is, but when you try to download something it asks for a code.
in short, act like a stupid kid, they usually won't deal with you very long.
EDIT:
and you don't need to give them correct information, I gave them information that traces back to a bakery or something, only my live account, which is bogus.

I created a hotmail account with region set to english, then called microsoft support uk and told them I had recently bought an HD7 and it keeps prompting me for some kind of activation thing. Pretend you dont know what youre talking about.
She asked me for my first and last name, phonenumber and email adress. I just gave her my real name, and real phonenumber. Now the thing is, I'm dutch. So I told her its a dutch number, which was no problem to her. Gave her my valid dutch number. Then gave her my hotmail account. She never asked for my adress or serial number.
She then immediatly gave me my activation code, thanks
It was worth a call to england I can tell you, didnt have to wait long either.

What phone number did you use I tried the 0844 just to be told its shut
Thanks
(sent from my Hd27 )

Hallo @all, sorry for that pherhaps Stupid Question but may I say that I have a HTC Mozart (because I have) to get an Activation Code for my HD2? Thank you in advice for your answer ...

As they don't really care about the model we are using when requesting a Activation code, so I assume that it's is ok to register your Mozart with them, and get the activation code to use on HD2.
However, a situation may occur: If you use Mozart and HD2 at the same time, with the same code, the Live system could recognise these unreasonable accesses and block both of them. This is just an assuming, but who knows?

Just called to US Microsoft Support from Poland using Skype, and within about 5 minutes (including waiting to get connected with real person) i got my activation code. I just said, that i got second-hand HD7 and can't get it to work with Live Services ;>
I was asked only for my name, second name, email adress and phone number (and i gave my polish number here, no problems at all). Everything is working now ;>

Does this mean that WP7 looks down eventually? If you don't have activation code?

Come on Look closely at the box of your beloved HD2. You will see the "Windows Phone" logo on it. I guess that's exactly the OS we are all using right now with the phone )))

bet they think theres been some sort of technology leap and all of a sudden people are stupid, if i was at ms id be thinking "why would they have a hd7 if they where dumb with technology, they would have some crappy symbian phone which is easy to work"

if a new release or update from cotulla s released do we need another activation code or it is specified to the email account

The activation code is linked to the email account so as long as you use that again then it should be fine.
Mark.

Same here. Called MS USA using mig33, got a very nice operator, she only asked for first and last name, e-mail and phone no. I have to wait for about 3 minutes then she give me the code
Marketplace is fully working now. Already downloaded 12 apps as I'm writing this ;D
Much thanks for the DFT!

I just called MS in the US. They asked for name, email and phone (just made those up) and was immediately given code. I use another email account, which perfectly worked with the activation code. So the activation code does not seem to be linked to the email provided with the call (as that one I did not use)

yeah im pretty sure they ask for your name so they know what name to call you when they talk to you, the email in case they have to email you the code or any extra info and a number in case they have to call you back in case the call gets disconnected...

Question guys.
i seen posts that you can use the code ever 30 days, so does that mean you have to put in the code again in 30 days? or what?

They ask the email so they can email you the code (i got them to do that different email to my live account too btw)
Your phone number so they can call back later to check that everything worked well and you dont need anymore help, and also to ask how you rated their service.
I think its just very good customer service on their part. I was very impressed!

I was asked for name, phone number and email. Got the code straight away. Next phone might be a WP7 anyway so no need to tell porkies :/

Hi everyone, I just wanted to tell you my story.
Since zune and windows phone 7 are actually the same department i called the zune support number and was able to talk to someone immediately.
1-877-GET-ZUNE (1-877-438-9863)
TTY (hearing impaired): 1-800-801-1189
Hours of operation:
6:00 a.m. -- 10:00 p.m. PST
I talked to one of the reps who was very nice and he knew exactly what i was talking about when i asked for the activation code. He asked for my name, phone number, email address and I gave him my real info.
But then he asked for an IMEI number... I didnt want to give it to him because i thought they might not help if they found that it was invalid for an HD7.
anyways he insisted so i decided to be honest and i gave him the IMEI from behind my battery on my HD2. After a few minutes he gave me an activation code!
No need to lie!
This is actually the second time i've gotten one too as i lost the first one i got haha.

Depends on the operator, I said that I needed the activation code for my phone running WP7.
She was aware about this and told me that she would need my name phone number and email (but never asked on any information regarding the phone). I agreed but she actually forget to ask me my email. She gave me my activation code few seconds later.

Hi.
Thanks for this. I called twice. First time, the lady was reluctant to help me and continued on insisting that I call MS UK!! I said "Whatever!" and hung up!!
I then called again and got through to a guy who was excellent. Gave him my details and told me to hold on. I too gave "A" UK landline number and he didnt say much. He then came back with an activation code....and it worked!!
Thank you!!!

That approach didn't work for me. You want them to think youre a n00b. I said that I was glad to finally speak to somebody because I didn't knew what choiches I had to make to have actually somebody on the phone. After that I told the good fellow that I configured my email account (live, hotmail etc) and that it's needed to be activated. I said that there where 5 bars, and that I found it rather weird beacause I didn't new If they want an andress, name etc. Then the men laught and sais, no It's needed a 25 diget code, and every bar you can enter 5 of those. I played dumb and I said I called my provider, and they said I needed to call HTC, wich told me to call microsoft. The guy laughs again and he only asked for my name and my telephone number.
What I want to say is...make It like you didn't knew what hit you, make them laugh. The will not be suspicious!!

@Fabian1985 yeah well sounds stupid but i didn't want my scottish accent playing the wrong cards so i dumbed down my words and spoke weird
it kinda aided the process!!

I have a product key for the windows live activation for Windows Phone 7. I don't know if its a one account use or not, I can hand it out if you'd like..
I've had to use it more than once so I'm pretty sure it's not a one use product code.
It was easy for me to get the code since I live in the US, so if you wanna give it a try let me know

Ill give a code try, called UK & US m$ 20 times today with no results

How-to: Obtain WP7 product/activation key from MS Canada

Thanks braxtynh for the tip! I have just obtained my own activation key from MS Canada support line today. Here's how you do it.
1. Call MS Canada support phone number: 18775682495
2.Press 1 for English, then 0 to get to customer service (it will say "call an employee", which is correct).
3. The rep. will ask for your name, phone number and e-mail address. Either you tell the truth or you fake the info, your move.
4. Let the rep know you just got a WP7 from Telus ( I said I got a LG Optimus), and then let the rep know the phone is asking for an activation key (they call it the product key as well). Tell them you got this phone number from Telus and Telus asks you to call this number directly to obtain an activation key.
5. If everything goes accordingly, the rep will spell out the key to you from the phone. Listen carefully and double check the key, it should be a 25 characters code.
6. You now have your own activation key!
This might work with other country calling this number, but do it at your own risk!
ENjoy!

removed.

kool got it

what's the number in USA ?

Umm this might be a stupid question but as I don't have Leo7 on the HTC yet..
do i need to have it on the phone first before I can get the key..?.
I do have an hotmail and a Live account already...

removed.

Its 1-800 or 888 number, check the MS Support website. Its free to dial that btw.

Exactly as described, but the only difference is I didnt use my real number. I made one up and there was still no problem.
They asked why I was calling, (for an activation code for my HTC 7 Surround), they then needed my name, phone number, and email address.
After that, they put me on hold for about 20 seconds then read me back the code they generated.
Done, thats it.
Thanks OP

Woah I just tried this and got my code in less than 5 minutes he even told me that if it doesn't work to call back and they will he generate a new one
Thumbs up to you!!!

Activation Code via chat!

Have seen several questions about how to get one of these codes so thought I'd share an easy method...
http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_selector_chat?ws=support#
Click general. Tell them you are setting up windows phone 7 and it required an activation.
they asked for my name, phone number, and manufacturer of phone (HTC)
within a minute I had my code
Hope it helps

i went that link and found no "general".... geehh, wanted to activate wp today, but g2g sleep
maybe sum1 can pm me an activation code ?

By 'General' do you mean:
Product Sales, General Inquiries and Genuine Advantage Questions
Have non-technical questions or concerns that your product may be counterfeit or not genuine? Get live, real-time answers to your needs quickly by chatting online with a Microsoft representative.
I visit there, chat with the supporter... And he told me to call my local supporter.
I said I called but they couldn't provide me an activation code so I contact US.
He told me to call the activation center and didn't give me any code :|
Sorry for my poor Eng

I try the 2nd time and I got an activation code And it works like a charm!!!

yyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa there is no general section...I m in the usa...live right next to Microsoft...literally

I can confirm this works. I'm based in the UK - gave them name, uk number and said HTC 7 and they gave me a code no problems.

really working, i got activation too.

WHat section are people selecting. Can't see general. Says "Chat not available" on most of em :/
Cant see "Product Sales, General Inquiries and Genuine Advantage Questions" either and I've selected US as my location
EDIT: ok, can now. Stupid noscript in firefox

worked for me too from germany. just chose United states as location and got it.

hmm.. could you get me one? I tried but I can't seem to get in.
Please

tried chatting and they told me to call support
I tried chatting with general chat, as the instructions said, and they told me to call the technical support 800 number right away rather than giving me an activation code. I think they've caught on to this. :-(

Dammit, even though I selected united states as my location the agent said I was from the UK so I needed to give them a call

Worked for me now...after trying 6 or 7 times..
I don't understand why some of them are lying and saying that they dont have the tools to do it and that I have to call the support instead.

works like a charm!
had to give the support agent following informations: full name (real), phone number (my number), brand of phone (htc), no live id, no imei, no specific model name
had to wait a couple of minutes while she generated my key and got it!

Worked for me!
This is easier than I thought. I got an activation code within 5 minutes with the first rep. Thanks!

What did you tell them? I tried twice already. Even used an anonymous US proxy, cause the first time they detected that I'm from Russia and told me to call local Support. Anyway, both reps insisted on me calling a 1-800 number...

[How to guide] How to activate WP7 on HD2 withouth calling helpdesk.

Now before you read this its not a hack, this is just a legit way and easy way to get a real code.
Since I live abroad and I do not have a microsoft company in my country and helpdesk it is pointless to spend allot of money to call overseas to get a Activation key.
I know there are other like me out there who have the same, or are just to lazy to call helpdesk.
Now if you want to avoid direct contact with Microsoft personal I recommend you mail the helpdesk.
I done this 2 days about and within 8hours I had my activation key ready and my mobile activated.
now how to do.
1. go to http://www.microsoft.com/worldwide/
2. choose your country. (under the tab contact information) in my case Netherlands.
3. Click the given link below.
4. Go to the bottom of the site, and click the link Contact Us.
5. Click Email Us.
6. Click Product Sales & General Inquiries
7. Click Product sales and licensing
Attention!
Use a false name!
Same goes for a false Email addres. I recommend you creat a second Live ID, Activation code's given are not linked to that Live ID.
8. Fill in forms.
9. In the commentary box at the bottom of the site, you should wright something concerning about the activation code. That you lost it, you got the phone, a HD7! not a HD2! as a present.
By all excitement you left the box unatended, while you were out for charge ing your phone and preparing it for first use.
The dogs nicked the box from the table destroying all manuals and key codes with in.
10. They will reply and ask for phone numbers and a Live ID.
Give 'm a mobile number, a real mobile number but not yours. Same goes for house phone. I do not know if you can put point 9 and 10 togheter as one.
Go to your countrys yellow page's and choose 2 numbers.
11. They will reply again, with a notification that you may not lose your key again. and ofc. in this mail is your own activation key.
12. be nice and wright a lovely letter in return
I did this 2 days ago.
I had my Code with 8 hours. If you prefer calling then do so. But if you call!
Be prepared they will ask the same things as in point 10. So have already the phone numbers ready and at hand.
Btw, I am just trying to help.
If you guys want to complain about this post then please do it not here.

If all of us use that, microsoft is suddenly going to get a large number of complaints that dogs have a global conspiracy against HD7 manuals and activation codes
Great job

Just followed your advice, awaiting a reply. Do they not ask for an imei number? This seems to be reported a lot recently

No, They only ask for your Mobile number and house phone number.
They do not ask for IMEI numbers.

Yes and for Phone model they do not mean your IMEI number.
And do not forgot say you got a HD7. Since DFT cracked the HD7 WP7.
All those things they asked need to be false. I recommend you do that

A quick tip,
If you ever was asked for an HD7 IMEI.

Thanks to the |OP|

i sent 2 support requests, 1 from the UK and 1 from the US, and both said i need to call (one gave the UK number, and one gave the link to search for a region). looks like im going to have to call them

After 3 times trying to achieve an activation code with MS in the USA with the chat function (3 different BLA-BLA stories...), I've tried this option ... AND IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM!
I made up a different story why I lost my code for the imported HTD HD7, got a mail back asking for my Live-ID mail (created a new one just to make sure) and a mobile number (I only gave them a fake one), the same day I got the code by e-mail and now the Marketplace etc. works!

Thanks for this suggestion!
