You neglected to tell us which WinDUHows version you're trying to activate. There are many reasons why this might occur (you inputting wrong data is most likely). Yes M$ is the place to go to solve your problem.

Newer windows releases need to call home via the internet to register them selves. If they can't they go into a locked up state after the warning period.

If you bought cloned version (bootlegged) it will also do this as the serial number & install ID has already been used to the maximum times allowed. Yes, you may think you have a real copy as they can make a very good knock off of the real docs and packaging. Hopefully this is not what happened to you.

As Machead stated you need to call the big Poo-Ba in Seattle to get it unlocked (some versions can be unlocked via a phone call as well).

Good Luck!

Yep, no other option here. You'll need to prove to them you only have one system running the license.
