I also have this activation problem, I guess waiting is the best we coud do. MY installation works perfectly good besides that so I don't need to activate it right now.

Did I get this right, you just downloaded the ISO File and burned it to a DVD to install it on a PC running Windows 8.1? So you never did the actual update on this PC but instead just did a clean reinstall and tried to activate that with a Win 8 key? If that's the case you've done it wrong. Microsoft said that you first have to do an update on a PC to "register" it and after that you could do a reinstall with the iso. I'm not shure if an update using the iso as a source would work, but just using a Windows 8 key for a clean Windows 10 installation won't work.
Your only solution would be to reinstall Win8 and that upgrade it. If you like you could do a clean install after that. I don't think staying on insider program would be an alternative since I can't imagin that Microsoft is permanently throwing Win10 away for free over this backdoor.
