Long Story short.... I sold my old computer/built a brand new one. (yes the computer was wiped prior to sale)
I installed Windows 7 with my disk (that i purchase from Microsoft store when 7 barely came out)
Now when It try and install it's not letting me. It's activated before just fine....but now with the new pc it's complaining that it cant. Even though the installtion went fine before. Now I am 25 + days using my new box and i waited to last second to activate it (not sure if that matters or is contributing to the problem)
It is indeed a Window 7 Upgrade Pro Disk. However Plenty of people have not had issues including myself. I am not sure if one of the updates i downloading messed up my activation or not.
Googled around all the fixes didnt work for me
