Can I reactivate with my old key?

[mwfencer]

I have a laptop with Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit. Using Windows Anytime Upgrade, I upgraded to Win7 Pro. I used a key from a new Win 7 Pro program but did not activate. Can I activate with my old Win 7 Home Premium key since it is the same hardware?

you have to BUY a key for Win 7 pro.

and that is ALL the advice toms will support.

I do have a Win 7 Pro key and used it to install the Anytime Upgrade, but did not activate it. Can I use "replace key" to install my old laptop Win 7 Home Premium key and activate as it is the same hardware?

please do NOT ask if you can use the same key twice.

what part of "that is all the advise toms supports" do you not understand?

Geez. Sorry. I did not realize you were such a grouch. It was a legitamite question as I am not using the key twice, but simply using it on the same laptop it was already activated on.

if you already activated it than you are trying to use it twice.

contact microsoft.

i am not trying to be harsh.
when it comes to software activation toms has some rules in place that are to be adhered to or it is an immediate ban for BOTH parties.
