I just saw a post over at the Windows 10 forums and some of the guys have learned that if you continue to click on the activation button that you will eventually get through and activate your legitimate copy of windows 10. I followed their suggestions and sure enough it worked on the two pc's I was having trouble with earlier. Once you've activated your copy, which is now tied to your Microsoft account, you will not have to reenter a key when you clean install on that particular machine.
