Use the automated phone system to activate - does not appear
I have been running the original copy of Windows 7 Professional on my laptop for about 1.5 years until recently when I decided to reinstall windows due to a poor performance of my laptop. I downloaded the relevant copy of windows from their website, burnt in a CD and installed - all as usual. A month later I get the message of Windows not being genuine. I have tried to enter my original Key to activate it again but failed (error 0x004F063). The suggestion for the same problem on other forums was to 'Use the automated phone system to activate' however when I get the activation widow up this option is somehow missing and the only things ave got are:
-buy a new product key online
-type a different product key
-contact microsoft to help resolve this problem
any suggestions? Thank you
