I just replaced a dead dvd and now Windows require me to activate. However, it appears I activated my key too much and I have to call in. When I call though, the machine can't find my key and tries to connect me to a person. However, I just get disconnected from their system. Anyone knows what's up or another way to activate?

Hmm. I've activated when when I made a change to my computer, I just went through to a person and that was that.

No other way.

Keep calling.

And post in the right goddamn forum.

Legitimate route: Keep trying to get through proper activiation channels, i.e. keep calling

Illegitimate route: corporate edition

Make this my 2nd time. I just get a little music, then 1 min of a slow 2 tone disconnect signal, then 1 min of silence, and finally the regular disconnect.

Just hit 0 or don't talk when you call, you'll get rerouted to an operator in India.
