re-activation problem
Hi,
I have just upgraded the HD containing Vista Business. I carried out a disk clone using Acronis True Image V11 and that seemed to work fine - just needed to carry out "repair" using the Windows DVD on first boot of the new disk. However, my version is now showing that it is not activated and I know that I will have to reactivate via telephone. However, when I hit the "activate now" I am not given a phone option and when I attempt to activate online, I get an error message 0x80070005 which seems to be an "access denied" error code. I then Googled for an activation phone number for the UK, but it seems to be 100% automatic with no option to speak to an assistant! Any ideas how I can reactivate? Cheers

Hey there Rutetuti,
Got this from the TechNet Online Concierge. Please call (44) (870) 2411-963 or (0) (800) 018-8354 (toll free) to reach Activation Center in the UK. Let me know if that works for you.

Hi William,
That was great, thanks. Only took about 5 min to get re-activated! "William Anderson" wrote in message ... Hey there Rutetuti, Got this from the TechNet Online Concierge.
