    Error activation key


    I bought the Xbox. EA Access:12 months, but when entering the activation key the message "activation key error" "unknown error". I checked the key using the account of my friend, the key works. I bought a new key but it is also not activated. Why can't I
    activate the key ?

    :)

    Activation Key/LIVE Access Code Do Not Show Up on Games for Windows

    I just purchased Fable 3 and can't play because i need the activation key. Problem is that my Games for Windows just has this message "Game Activation Key:

    An unknown error has occurred"

    Any Ideas?

    GFWL Client broken again

    I'm having a problem with the Games For Windows Client too. I have the games installed fine, but when I run a game it asks for an activation key, but when trying to get the key from the client all I get is...

    Game Activation Key:

    Retrieving key

    for a minute or so followed by

    Game Activation Key:

    An unknown error has occurred.

    Not useful.

    Looks to me like whatever server they used to store and issue keys is down/gone. If I'm right I'd suggest the best course of action would be to give everyone who bought from them Steam keys or similar, then they can turn the servers off for good.

    Microsoft Tinker GFWL product key.

    I thankfully had a document created long ago with my keys but I am in the same boat. The marketplace shows no serial keys and instead says: "An unknown error has occurred" for both Game Activation keys and Live Access Codes.
