Re-Installed Now Activation Key Says it's in use

I am on the Vista Beta 2 Build 5384. I got my DVD from MS and the friends
and family deal...

I loaded it, all went fine... Blew away that install, and reloaded the Beta
ona laptop... used the same key.. now it says it's in use and I cant
register...

Any ideas?

Use the phone activation method. The activation wizard will give you the
numbers to call if you keep going.

Anyone have the Number to call? In my "Activation Support " area all I get
are "test" bullets with no information at all
