They have always problems with the codes.LOL... All you have to do it, call microsoft and try to do the phone activation. It worked for me.
Good luck!

Re insert the disk and start all over from scratch and this time read and it will allow you to enter the code to activate.
This is the reason it stopped working you may need to contact Microsoft to get things straightened out as well.

Sorry. I refuse to load Vista until they get all the bugs out first.
Call Microsoft's activation line. They will help you with this issue.

You should call the Microsoft activation phone number. I have not had good luck with activation over the internet.
