Re-installation of Windows Vista Business

A month ago I installed Windows Vista Business on my home office computer. A
week ago I upgraded the machine and re-installed the Windows Vista Business
program. Today I received a message advising that Windows Activation won't
work. How can I activate the program which has been re-installed?

Simply follow the on-screen prompts to perform a telephone activation.

Hi,

Use the phone activation method. First try the automated sequence, and if it
fails hold on the line to get a representative who can give you an
activation code.

RE: Re-installation of Windows Vista Business

Do you have a phone number for Activation? I do not get the option of
activating by phone, it just loops back to enter the product id

I have this one - The Microsoft Activation Hotline - (888) 571-2048

I've never used it so YMMV.
