I know there are ways of saving the OEM key before the clean install... but I've clean installed before that step.
How can I activate now?
-
Use the key on the bottom and call Microsoft.
-
Yes, that's one option... But is there any other way (without having to call every time I make a clean install)
-
Recover the system using either the partition or discs, uses ABR, clean install again.

Already found it. In case someone also wants it, get it here. Almost 300 MB...
-
The Rescue and Recovery software doesn't recognize the partition where the factory image is.
Anyone knows how to solve this? -
Anyone knows if the files created with the "Orev's Activation Backup and Restore program" are different from computer to computer? Or same models produce the same file?
-
Your best bet now, is to call tech support and ask for recovery disks - usually they will send for free, if you just tell them that R & R can't find the partition.

Since I still had the original factory partition I restored the factory settings aand then used Orev's program.
