Win7 Enterprise deactivated...?

Question
-
Hi,
I am running Win7 Enterprise 64-bit at home under my Employer's "WorkatHome" licensing scheme (University of Manchester, UK). Due to a new hard drive, I re-installed the OS on the 13th August. The system activated online upon installation and has been running fine but this evening I have logged on to find an error saying the installation is no longer activated, and "The activation server reported that the Multiple Activation Key has exceeded it's limit". Apparently, I have 25 days of the 30 day activation grace period remaining, suggesting the key deactivated on the 21st August.
Not sure what triggered this. Windows update installed several updates on the 21st Aug, and also on the 22nd, 23rd, 25th and 26th and I see on this forum that this sometimes causes problems but not sure if this is the root cause. The diagnostic report is given below (Hyperlinks deactivated as it wouldn't let me send otherwise...).
Our IT department now only offers Win7Professional on the WorkatHome scheme for installation....I understand that I cannot do an in-place downgrade from Win7Enterprise to Win7Pro and would appreciate advice on how best to get my copy re-activated.
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, there's very little we can do about it here - The problem is obviously that either
1) the uni allowed the Key to lapse when they decided to use Pro rather than Enterprise for the scheme
or
2) the Key leaked, and has now become invalidated because of excessive activations.
or both.
You need to discuss this with the issuing body (the Uni) and see what they can offer - there is no safe way to downgrade Enterprise to Pro, so it would require a reformat reinstall, as you say. You may be able to do something to save data and settings using WET.
