Select activate by phone.

Call the phone activation center at the number on the activation screen. An
agent will ask for the codes on the activation screen so keep that screen
open. The agent is automated and will ask how many computers the product
key is used on and when you answer "one" the agent should give you the
54-digit activation string.

You can call phone activation and grovel to a desk helper and try to
make sure you copy the 54 digits correctly so you can use the OS you
paid for. OR, you can upgrade to a real OS and not have to worry about
activation, viruses, malware or DRM. What you want is Ubuntu. Check it
out at http://www.ubuntu.com/ Not only is it free, it comes with access
to over 24,000 free programs.
