    You have replaced the OEM motherboard with a retail one.  You need to purchase a retail copy of Windows 7 Home Premium and change the product key to the one included in the retail copy.  An OEM SLP license for Windows cannot be transferred to a retail motherboard from an OEM one.  The details are in the Microsoft OEM FAQs as follows:

    Generally, an end user can upgrade or replace all of the hardware components on a computer—except the motherboard—and still retain the license for the original Microsoft OEM operating system software. If the motherboard is upgraded or replaced for reasons other than a defect, then a new computer has been created. Microsoft OEM operating system software cannot be transferred to the new computer, and the license of new operating system software is required. If the motherboard is replaced because it is defective, you do not need to acquire a new operating system license for the PC as long as the replacement motherboard is the same make/model or the same manufacturer's replacement/equivalent, as defined by the manufacturer's warranty.

    The reason for this licensing rule primarily relates to the End User Software License Terms and the support of the software covered by that End User Software License Terms. The End User Software License Terms is a set of usage rights granted to the end user by the PC manufacturer and relates only to rights for that software as installed on that particular PC. The system builder is required to support the software on the original PC. Understanding that end users, over time, upgrade their PCs with different components, Microsoft needed to have one base component "left standing" that would still define the original PC. Since the motherboard contains the CPU and is the "heart and soul" of the PC, when the motherboard is replaced (for reasons other than defect) a new PC is essentially created. The original system builder did not manufacture this new PC, and therefore cannot be expected to support it.

    WHile what Colin says is correct, you can always see whether MS will allow activation using the COA Key.

    Using the Change Product Key link on the System properties page, change the Key to the one on your COA sticker, and attempt activation.

    If Internet activation fails, try telephone activation.

     

    telephone activation (operator calls)

     Click on the Start button

    in the Search box, type

    SLUI 4

     and hit the Enter key

    follow the instructions, but when asked which service you require by the telephone ansafone, do NOT reply - this should force an operator to respond, who can deal with you

    Water was introduced to my desktop i purchased from Best Buy. I had it diagnosed and found that my motherboard was fried. I replaced the motherboard and computer has run fine for approx. a month. Now its saying my windows isnt valid. I called customer support for microsoft and they advised i would need the key located on the desktop. Problem is when repairing the desktop the side panel got misplaced which had the key on it. Asus support tells me they cannot give me the key and Microsoft says i need the key supplied from Asus. Any work arounds to this or am i screwed into buying software?
