I have just formatted my PC and re-installed Windows on my PC, now I can't activiate it as I have used my product key too many times! Can anyone help me?

if someone let you have it, it would do you no good, you see each product key is different and should you manage to crack it Mr MS would crash it,,, you see every time you go on the net your pal the computer checks in with Microsoft for updates,,, and says hi I need updates for these programs I got, and the and the product keys are Blah Blah Blah and Mr MS server says hold on there that Key for Media is wrong... sorry you have 30 days to correct it or your down
bye bye ,, and thats when it pope up on your screen and tells you this is not a legal copy

you need to call microsoft by telephone and get a live person and tell them you had to reformat the PC and they will walk you through getting a legal license key. You can't use someone else's because that will be registered as well.

The only ones who can (legally) help you are Microsoft. I don't think the Windows License allows for people to sell them on e-bay so I would avoid that also...

the product key is registered to that disk, you need to buy another windows disk I think. Someone elses key will not work with your disk.

I think MS wants you to call, explain why you used it too many times and they help you.

You'll have to call the big cheeses at Microsoft for that my friend.

Emai microsoft and explain your situation, if you provide them with your coa then they should provide you with a new key

Call Microsoft, I'm sure they'd be glad to give you one.
