Windows Vista Activation Problem :S

Hello fellas, i reinstalled my windows vista ultimate and i got a retail
key, that was activated on the same computer, now when i reinstalled
everything i tought that i could use the same key on the same computer
:S i get the activation error that the key is already in use, do i need
to deactive the key or what? :S

i didnt acitvate when i was "installing" it cuz i tought i could do it
later but it seems like microsoft thinks that i'm trying to install it
on 2 computors when it's still the same one shouldnt it automaticly know
when the windows vista is reinstalled and deactivate or what the problen
now is :S

Hello Myggan,

As Peter posted above, you should be able to do a Phone activation to
activate your Vista. This tutorial below will help show you how to if
needed.

Hope this helps,
