How to active my vista

I am university student, I got a business vista editon from the university
it's th MSDN edition. I have used the product key to active this vista
successfully before.
Last day I just update my video card, and the system shows I need an another
product key to active this vista. I have reinstall the system, it shows
again. Why this case happens?

Hi,

Some hardware changes, as well as reinstalling Vista, will necessitate a
need to reactivate your installation. As your Product Key has already been
used, the "over the 'net" activation will report the key as being in use.
The solution is to use the phone activation method. If the automated
sequence doesn't work, just hold the line for a real person to activate it.

Because Vista/Microsoft is fscked.
