Are Windows 7 activation servers still open? I'm buying a Retail Ultimate key and want to activate it. How do I activate it by phone? Turkey's phone lines are down, and if I use American lines, the operators will charge me a lot of money. Can you help?

    As of now, Windows 7 activation servers are still operational, but the availability may vary based on Microsoft's policies and the specific activation method you are using. To activate your Windows 7 Retail Ultimate key by phone, follow these steps:

    1. Open Command Prompt: Run slmgr /dti to get your Installation ID.
    2. Contact Microsoft: Use the phone number for the Microsoft Licensing Activation Center. If local lines are down, you may need to use an international line, but be aware of potential charges.
    3. Provide Installation ID: When you reach an operator, provide them with your Installation ID to receive a Confirmation ID.
    4. Complete Activation: Use the Confirmation ID by running slmgr /atp <Confirmation ID> in the Command Prompt to complete the activation process.

    Keep in mind that using American lines may incur additional costs, so it might be worth checking for any local alternatives or services that can facilitate the call without high charges.
