    Hello, Please can someone tell me how to get around this issue?I recently upgraded my CPU and have had an activation error ever since. I have already tried the usual steps to reactivate:I have ran the activation troubleshooter.Selected the option 'I recently changed hardware on this device'.Selected my current hardware from the list.Then I receive the error: 'We can’t activate your copy of Windows because the digital licence for this device has already been used to reactivate Windows.'Seems like I can only use this fix once to resolve this issue automatically, then I have to contact support.

    :)
