Vista and new computer

I just recently bought a new computer because my old system flat out died. I
tried to put vista on the new computer, but it can't validate because it says
the key is already in use, what do I do?

Re: Vista and new computer

I assume you had Vista on the old computer, as well? If so, that is where
the key is already in use at. In order to activate your Vista, you just need
to select the telephone activation and activate by phone. It may require a
live customer service rep, but it is still < 5 mintues from start to finish.
