I recently had my power supply fry my motherboard and after installing a new power supply and motherboard, I was required to re-activate windows 7. When I went to re-activate online I got the error: 0xC004C008 The activation server determined that the specified key could not be used.

I then tried the activation by phone, read out all the keys in the installation ID and then was asked how many computers this product was installed on, I said 3 (I got the 3 pack upgrade, and all 3 are being used). The phone system then said that I didn't meet some conditions or something and then was told to stay on the line to speak to a customer support representative, but when I stay on the line, they just say we're sorry we can't help you and disconnect.

Is there a way I can talk to a support representative about my activation or some other method I can activate by? I'm in Canada if that means anything

Just like if you always say "YES" if a creature asks you if you "are a god", you should always say "ZERO" when the machine asks you how many times you've installed Windows with the key.

It will activate it for you just fine if you tell it Zero.

Of course Ive tried with saying 0, it says the same thing

Try saying 1.

I've tried saying every number.

That's not the problem.

I asked for help talking to a customer service person or someway to tell them why I need to activate again so they will activate my machine. The automatic phone system just drops my call after it says it cant be activated.

Thanks, this worked
