Quote - You should be able to call them and get it done for free..click activate by telephone....it takes about 10minutes....I have to do that now cause I have had to format so many times and it's a pain in the butt but no way around it....hope that helps (Im in uk but cant see if being any diff elsewhere)

 

This is absolutely correct.  When you click the Activate by Telephone button you'll get a toll-free number to call and then you just follow the prompts and give them your COA.  I've had to do it a lot, every time I change a piece of hardware.  This is supposed to not happen with Vista when it comes out later this month but I'll be waiting a few months before buying it.
