I installed a new CPU fan which involved taking out the CPU to clear off
thermal paste and to also install the heatsink retention module which
involved taking the Motheboard out, everything works fine but when I got to
Windows it said there is a hardware change and I need to reactivate Windows
or after 3 days its nuked, so I put my cd-key in again and it said its
already in use so I have to phone Microsoft to get it reactivated, but as its
Saturday the 3rd day is Monday so my Windows might not be operable by the
time I can phone Tech Support.

Is there anything that can be done without phoning MS to get my cd-key
working again?

Unlikely... it would blow the whole license protection thing away.

Phone Activation is available 24\7. No need to wait for Monday. Is there a reason why you might be asking for this workaround :-)

I wanted a work around so I can get it done and out the way, dont want any
black clouds

I used the phone in service which I found on the menu on how I wanted to
activate my product, so I done that and spoke to a guy and gave me a new key
and fixed me up, so thats great. And out of interest, the new cooler has
dropped 8C from my temps, I'm now 25C idle which is cool (pun intended)

Thanks for your replys.
