Honestly, im more surprised by the fact that these kiosks run windows, than by the fact that it isnt activated

    Why would it need to be activated? they usually run on a closed network, with no internet connection anyways

      Legal reasons.

      More than likely though the activation system just shat itself. If you’ve ever managed a large farm of windows machines with legitimate KMS activation you know shit breaks for no reason at all way too damn often.

        Shit, that happened with my home pc, and they acted like they were doing me a favor by giving me some code to make the software I had already paid for work.
