I purchased 2 OEM Win 7 Home Premium x64 from an online store that I bought the parts for 2 computers from (built by me). One of the computers is no longer in service. Recently one the key I had been using for some time went useless after some upgrade iterations (mobo, processor, vid card etc.), it won't even activate by phone now (M$ says it's not a legit key). So I switched to the other key I bought for the computer no longer in service and it activated without a problem, I just flashed the bios back to a previous version due to an issue with the new bios version and now it wants me to reactivate and it won't online activate anymore (back to by phone).
M$ seriously, everytime I flash a bios or do a fresh install I either lose my online activation or I lose my key entirely... Is there anyway to fix this? I don't want to buy another copy, I have 2 legit keys and am now down to one that requires phone activation if I look at my computer wrong. :
