I would recommend contacting the Microsoft Activation Center in your country to activate your Windows by phone. See that: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950929/en

Hi,

Would you please let us know the edition of your operating system.

Also, is it retail, OEM or Volume Activation?

More information:

Error message when you try to activate a copy of Windows by using the Windows Activation wizard: "The Software Licensing Service reported that the product key is invalid: 0xC004F050"

Hope this helps.
