[quote] here is some direct microsoft support for you The re-activation failure issue occurs because the installation of certain hardware updates, and device drivers may have reset the hardware configuration database. This information is used to trace any big hardware change. If the hardware change exceeds an allowed situation, it will trigger the re-activation of the Operating System. This feature is designed to protect an activated Operating System from being cloned from one computer to another computer which doesn't comply with the EULA (End User License Agreement) of the Microsoft Windows Operating System. When trying to re-activate online, if the Product Key of the current system has already been registered it is normal to receive the message that the Product Key is in use. At this point, we will need to re-activate the system via the Automatic Phone Activation System. For your convenience, I would like to provide the following information to help you activate the system. Step 1: Locate the toll-free phone number and the installation ID =========================================== 1. Click the Start button, type "SLUI.EXE 4" (without the quotation marks) in the search box, and press Enter. Note: There is a space between "SLUI.EXE" and "4". 2. Select the nearest location, and click Next. Note: The operation requires administrative privileges. Please click "Continue" when the User Account Control dialog-box appears. 3. The "Windows Activation" window will appear with a toll-free phone number, such as 1-866-740-1256 (for the United States). At the same time, the installation ID will display as the following format: xxxxxx – xxxxxx – xxxxxx – xxxxxx – xxxxxx – xxxxxx – xxxxxx – xxxxxx – xxxxxx 4. Please write down the phone number and the installation ID. Now, let’s call the Phone Activation Center to enter the recorded installation ID. Microsoft Product Activation system will then generate a confirmation ID and return it to you. This ID is to activate Window Vista on your computer. For your convenience, I have included the detailed steps below: Step 2: Dial the phone number to contact the Phone Activation Center ============================================ Note: Microsoft Product Activation is completely anonymous, and no personally identifiable information is collected. The entire activation process will take about 5 minutes to accomplish. Your patience is appreciated. 1. Please listen carefully to the automatic phone system instructions and select the correct option to choose for activating Windows Vista products. 2. According to the voice instruction, please enter the installation ID group by group. 3. Please wait a moment. Then, a confirmation ID will be returned from the automatic phone activation system. Please write down the confirmation ID. If we encounter problems during the automatic phone activation process, we can select an appropriate option according to the voice instructions to be redirected to a customer service representative for direct assistance. Step 3: Activate Windows Vista using the confirmation ID =========================================== 1. On the Windows Vista computer, please enter the confirmation ID returned from the Microsoft phone activation system, in the boxes of the Windows Activation window and click "Next". 2. Please follow the onscreen steps to complete the system activation process. What’s the result? Please let me know if the activation succeeds. In addition, as Windows Vista has been released for some time, we may encounter the following message and behavior if the activation period has expired: ****************************** When starting Microsoft Windows Vista, we may receive the following error messages: Activate Windows Now Your activation period has expired and Windows is no longer working. To use Windows you must activate this copy of Windows. In Addition, if the computer has passed the activation grace period (30 days), the taskbar and the Start button will disappear. In this case, you will only have limited access to Windows Vista programs and features. ****************************** Regarding this behavior, we have a related Knowledge Base (KB) article. For your reference, I have included its link below. Error message when you start Windows Vista: "Your activation period has expired" -[link]- Please activate Windows Vista according to the website directions.
