I have disabled my retail version of Windows 7 Ultimate on my old desktop and want to activate it on my new desktop, but it won't let me. What should I do?

I also rang the phone activation, and they said that I could not do it by phone and had to contact microsoft support. Is it the right place to go?

Download and install KB971033: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971033

Then activate by phone:

1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
(2) press the ENTER"" key.
(3) to select your "country" you are in the drop-down list.
(4) choose the option "activate phone".
(5) stay on the phone * do not select/press any option * and wait for a person to help you.
(6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.
(7) the person must give you a confirmation ID, copy it down on paper,
(8) check that the ID is correct in reading the support person.
(9) to enter the ID number, then click 'Next' to complete the activation process.
