slmgr.vbs i think

slmgr.vbs -rearm

Please note that if you do this than a rearm will be used...if you want to use WIndows 7 for 120 days than I reccomend a re-install to get the max usage

as Zidane said if you still havent made Many installations or done any importent stuff in your machine i guess doing a Reinstallation will be fine, as it would give you the 120 days grace time,
But i wonder why your problem occured after the Update ?

I think he had a bad install to begin with and WU overwrite an importaint file (seen as corrupted) with an older file that tricked the activation...

While system restore is no substitute for doing real backups, I find it comes in handy frequently enough that for me it is worthwhile to keep it on. Also, in W7, MS has put back the easy slider (like there was in XP) to control the amount of disk space you want allocated to system restore, so it is easy to keep system restore from taking over your hard drive.
