XP Activation problem

    I have a genuine licensed copy of XP Pro.
    Over the years I have installed it several times as I have upgraded my machine/hardware etc..
    Now after a disk has gone bad, and a re-install on the replacement HD, it will not let me activate it any more.
    I have gone through the telephone activation processand the 'customer representative bot' tells me that I have it installed on more than one machine(which I do not) and that I must now buy a new license - which I will not do!

    Does anyone know of a contact number that I can ring to sort out this problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    You can ring Microsoft's activation number on 1800 930031, and they'll sort you out over the phone.

    I wish to deal with a live person, because as I said: "I have gone through the telephone activation process and the 'customer representative bot'"


    Update....I just needed to choose the 3rd option and then I got a real person.
    Call Center in India I think.
    So now if I need to activate it again I need to phone again!
    PITFB!
