Hi,
You don't release it, you use the phone activation method to (re)activate it
on the new system. Your key will be reported as being in use by the
automated system, so you need to speak to a phone rep who will activate it
for you. Simply call, go through the automated system and if it fails hold
the line for a real person to assist you.
