I bought a new pc barebone and want to put my old copy of Windows oem on it, how to activate it now?

Bought a new beam of barebones as my old series was tired. I have transferred my hard disk but had to format it as a new motherboard. After you have reinstalled my OEM copy of Vista on my new rig, it won't activate as it says this copy is already in use. I vaugely remember using a phone number to address this before, but it can not find on the net.

Hello

Are you sure it's an OEM copy?.

If it is then you will not be able to transfer it to another computer, because it is tried to the other computer.

If not try this, you use the telephone option to activate Vista.

Click the Start button.

1. in the search box, type slui.exe 4 and press enter.

3. Select your country in the menu dropdown.

4. click on continue in the UAC prompt.

5. an toll-free telephone number will appear with a set of numbers generated by Windows and displayed on your screen.

6. dial the number and follow the automated instructions.

If the activation service informs you that she has failed and cannot help with activation, thenSTAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to a representative of Activation.

Simply explain to the representative the situation and that they will help in the activation of Vista.
