Hi James,

You will have to do a phone activation to get Vista activated again.
You can use this as a guide on how to do it.

If you feel you are about to run out of time or have already entered
"Restricted Functionality Mode", then look here to extend the trial
usage for up to 120 days until you get Vista activated.

Do you let Vista update itself?

Sometimes the updates cause it to think the hardware has
changed and insist on reactivation. Although I've never
encountered the key is in use.
