I've been looking for that damn key for years and I still can't find
it!

But somehow I've gotten the spacebar to work in place of it. ;-)

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

From task manager, click File > New Taks (Run...)

Type 'cmd' without the quotes.

In the new command prompt, type 'slmgr -rearm' without the quotes.


Interesting commands, including -rearm and -cpky. For those of you afraid
that your product key might be stolen because it can be read from the
registry without a UAC prompt need not fear. Run slmgr -cpky.

Global Options:

-ipk <Product key>
Install product key (replaces existing key)

-upk
Uninstall product key

-ato
Activate Windows

-dli[Activation ID|All]
Display license information (default: current license)
-dlv[Activation ID|All]
Display detailed license information (default: current license)

-xpr
Expiration date for current license state

Advanced Options:
-cpky
Clear product key from the registry (prevents disclosure attacks)

-ilc <license file>
Install license

-rilc
Reinstall system license files

-rearm
Reset the licensing status of the machine

-dti
Display Installation ID for offline activation

-apt<Confirmation ID>
Activate product with user-provided Confirmation ID
