I had the exact same issue. What you need to do to fix it: Control Panel -> System At the bottom is the status of your activation. There should be a box to click to "change product key" Click that and enter your exact same key you used before. Magic happens and it works, just don't ask why. -- Jeff Utter Thomas P.
