I think the usual advice is to call MS and they'll have you up in a few
minutes.

I assume you mean activate, not register.

Just call the 800 number you are given, and activate by phone.
It's quick and easy.

Simply follow the on-screen instructions to activate via
telephone. The call is toll-free and generally takes less than 5
minutes.

I am in Taiwan.
I dont know there is a limit of product key use.
I sometimes install my xp maybe 3 times a day.
I have not meet the same problem with yours.
Strange? Just boring.
