Use the telephone activation method and tell them what you did. It did not
activate again since the presence of new NIC card can easily be considerd as
trying to install it on a different computer since the new NIC has a
different MAC address.

Use the telephone activation process... explain to the Microsoft
contact what and why and they'll give you a new activation code.
