Have you try by entering the same product key again? Or it also happens when we try to change the existing product key with the new one have you did something like that?

When you try to log in, you should be presented with a window that gives you four options:

1. Activate Windows online now --> (this will try to activate with whatever key you already have installed)
   
   
2. Buy a new product key online --> (self-explanatory)
   
   
3. Retype your product key --> (this is the same as "Change product key" and will give you the opportunity to enter a new key if you want to activate with a key that's not yet installed)
   
   
4. Show me other ways to activate --> (this is will give you two more options

a. Use my modem to connect directly to the activation service

b. Use the automated phone system
