I have been trying to change my key and followed every link I can find.
Most of the procedures are the same as (or variations of) the one on
the MS Support Site:
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;328874
The basis of this is that you have to make a change in the registry and
then run c:\windows\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a
I make the change in the registry and then run msoobe, where I would
expect to get an option to re-validate windows.. But I get the
activation window and am then told that "Windows Is Already Activated"!
I have done this before, but not for a VERY long time.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Could it be that one of MSs new
Security Patches has blocked the ability change the key?
