    I know my current Product key. I'm asking if I'll be able to use it again to activate windows after perform clean reinstall. I'm afraid that there will be a message that this key was already used and I will not be able to activate windows.
    You can use the key to activate windows online, how many times do you want.

    kanines,
    the following is covered in the link I gave, but here is the quick overview:
    ACTIVATE WINDOWS OR CHANGE PRODUCT KEY

    View activation status
    WIN | type SLUI | ENTER

    Change Product Key
    WIN | type SLUI 3 | ENTER

    Call Microsoft and Manually Activate
    WIN | type SLUI 4 | ENTER

    WIN = key with Microsoft Logo on top.

    "You might have to activate Windows 7 again if:
    (...)
    You reformat your hard disk. Reformatting erases your activation status. In this case, you’ll have 30 days to activate Windows again."

    Do I undersand well?
    If I reformat the partition with Windows on my hard drive, I will be able to activate previously used key again even wihout calling?

    EDIT:
    Sorry I didn't refresh page.
    Now I understand everything.
    Thank You!
