I have been running the trial version and it expired. I bought a copy and have a key now. I would like to enter the key somewhere and have the thing keep working. However when I try to activate I get messages saying that "Windows
couldn't be activated" "Go to Control Panel to learn about other ways to activate" "The Software Licensing Service reported that license evaluation failed." I am never given a chance to enter the new key. I also have
the CD, but if I use that, it seems to want to install over my current installation without saving files and settings.
