activation weirdness.

[theog]

So basically, you set the computer up at your house. Then you moved it to his house. It says it will take the key, but sometime later it rejects it. Correct? What about what Theog suggested? That is the only thing I can think of at this point.

correct. i went to the msdnaa website and i didn't find anything that would explain why it would reject the key.

note: i did get it to activate by reinserting the same key i used when i installed it, but i still want to figure out why windows rejected the key in the first place, that should never happen.

Is your subscription up to date?

It's the only reason I could see why my own installed 7 has made me re-activate the same install twice!
...and are you denying that M$ is greedy? AH HA!
