Windows Activation Problem

[Guest Ole Weigelt]

Hi everybody,

 

I have changed my server's HD. It is running on Server2008

 

Now, my system tells me taht it has been deactivated due to HW change and I

should reactivate. Reactivation results in error 0x004E003 which means that

the key has been used previously. Of course it has! _I_ have used it before

on the same machine.

 

KB 931276 tells me to punch in the Key again, but I do not have that option.

When I start slui.exe from the command line, it tries to activate, comes up

with the error described above and that's it.

 

Does that mean, I must not change HW without reinstalling and re-buying?

 

Thanks for your time

 

Ole

That is what slui.exe tells me to do,but there is no phone number. And as to

my knowledge, there is no general support number for MS, right?

 

 

Thanks
