It _is_ in use by you, because of your initial Activation. If
you want to activate it again, simply follow the on-screen instructions
to activate by telephone.

Hi geazzz,

You will just need to do a phone activation to get Vista activated
again. The BIOS flash must have made Vista think you changed the
motherboard.
