Vista has been deactivated!

I used the all-in-one activator for Vista about 5 months ago and 4 days ago Microsoft deactivated my install. Now I only have the option to enter a valid key or I can’t login.
Is there a solution for this OTHER than reinstalling?
I’m using Ubuntu right now.

Answer #6
Find a key on somewhere, I’m sure they’re floating around. If your copy is legit you can call Microsoft and have them activate it by phone.
Answer #7
I don’t have the answer you want to hear, but that’s why I back everything up in one of my 5 slaves. So I don’t loose anything. Back-up everything once a week. It’s good to do when and if your C:\ bites the dust.
