I got a new MB because I wanted to try out Crossfire. I had Win7 Pro installed before and although it properly detected the new board and installed the needed drivers it was running a bit sluggish cause I have too much crapped installed when I was testing out different software so I wiped the partition cleaned and started over.
It took the key just fine when installing but when trying to activate, it won't and gives me alternative choices like retyping it or buying a new key. When clicking More Details I get an error code Cx004C008, The activation server has determined that the specified product key could not be used.
MS site says this problem may occur if the key has been activated too many times. However this is only the second activation attempt. I know XP allowed several activations before giving me a exceeded activation limit error.
