You should be offered a phone number to call when activation fails. Call and speak with a MS agent to find out why your key isn't being accepted.

If it asks to activate does it give you other options to activate? If so you can go to activate by pgone, call a toll free number and follow the voice prompts. You will have to enter a set of 8 numbers which your pc will give you and they will give you a set of 8 numbers which you will enter on your pc.

When you get the message that the product key is unrecognized, double check the key that you typed in, then just click the button to continue. If activation fails you should be
given options to resolve the matter.

I suppose you are entering the correct key, some letters or numbers might look alike.

What happens when Windows 7 license expires?
You will need to buy a second license/key to activate a second Windows 7 installation at the same time. There is no discount on a second license if you already have a license. Windows 7 includes a 32 and 64 bit disk - you can only have one installed per key.
How to activate Windows 7 permanently for free?
Here is the guide: Select the Start button, right-click Computer, select Properties, and then select Activate Windows now. If Windows detects an internet connection, select Activate Windows online now. You might be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice.
Can Windows 7 run without activation?
Windows 7 must be activated in order to be used beyond 30 days. You can use the “rearm” console command to renew your activation grace period. It should be noted that the rearm command can only be used up to 3 times, extending your activation period to a maximum of 120 days.
What happens if my Windows license expires?
Once the license expires, Windows will reboot automatically about every three hours and anything you're working on when it reboots will be lost. After two weeks longer, Windows will stop booting at all. AT that point, you'll need to purchase another license and reinstall Windows.
