    You might need to contact Microsoft and explain the situation to them. They will(should) then issue you a new activation number...

    A quick call to Microsoft should sort that out for you. There's probably a way to force-activate it that they can do for you.

    Wait! Don't go reinstalling yet. Lomb, you're gettin me all hot an' bothered!!!

    As the boys said, ring Microsoft. There's a manual activation process that might just work here.
    It's worth a try before reinstalling everything. And if you've just do that in the past 30 days, what's to say it won't happen again?
