Two XP -OEM Activations on one PC.....HELP!!

[Alsun]

I have recently built a couple of PCs and have made a blunder of
activating XP!! I had two PCs and two OEM licences for which I paid
£70 each! Anyway, I activated one the othernight, installed some other
software, which caused a problem and so I formated the drive and
started again. The second time everything went fine...no problems and
i activated again ........BUT WITH THE WRONG ACTIVATION KEY!!! Now Ive
used up two licences on one PC. Is there any way to get one licence
back?? or have I just made a £70 mistake??
The second PC is now ready and loaded with XP but neither of the
two activation keys will activate on it!
Any help on this matter would be appreciated.

Simply call Microsoft and activate over the phone. When you activated over the Internet, that option became disabled for awhile, but a phone call should get you up and running.
