If you had a factory-installed OEM license, and hadn't since
reinstalled the OS, the revealed Product Key is that of the drive image
used at the factory and not the specific Product Key for that OEM
license; therefore, it probably cannot be -- and definitely should not
be -- used for a re-installation or activation.
