Reinstall Autocad

[Anonymous]

Hi
I had a severe error during a Windows Vista's update: my computer entered an infinite loop and there was no way to stop it, so I added a new hard disk as C: while the old is now F:
I reinstalled Vista 😞 from the rescue disk;
now I'm trying to reinstal all my programs;
I can find no way to reinstall AutoCAD Architecture 2008:
if I try to reinstall it on drive F: the setup program tells me that there is already another installation, and refutes to continue;
if I try to install it on drive C: it asks me for activation code, since it doesn't know about the activation code on drive E:
but when I enter the 16 groups of 4 digits... the setup program asks me for a 17th group!
how is it possible?
when I first installed it, I printed the following data:
- serial number
- request code
- acrivation code
- license ID
can anyone help me?
thanks in advance

Contact your reseller for help on why your activation code does not work,
while you wait for help with your system.

Sturluson,

Your authorization code is unique and derived from a combination of your serial
number and the physical attributes of your machine, including the serial number
of the hard disk itself.

When you change major components of your system, ACA will no longer work because
it thinks it is on a different machine, so you must get a new authorization
code.

Simply re-authorize the software by getting another authorization code. You may
have to call Autodesk (800-538-6401) and talk to a real person to explain
yourself and the situation.
