Wrong product key
I purchased and clean installed W7 Ultimate using the product key on the package. I bought the product from Softsets. I delayed activating it until I had evaluated it and installed all the software I generally use. The other day I decided to activate it and the activation failed. Tried to activate online and by telephone, failed. Then called MicroSoft, gave them the product key and was told that the software was not genuine.
Emailed the vendor and they apologized all over the place, gave me a new product key, told me I had to uninstall and reinstall using the product key they sent me. I really don't want to go through all that now that I have W7 personalized.
What I did was enter the new product key they sent me in Computer.... Properties and again was told that the key was wrong. Is it going to be wrong if I uninstall and reinstall?
I'll extend my activation period so I can get some decent answers. So, come on guys and gals, lets hear some wisdom.
