I called them up again and then they told me my cd key was invalid. I asked them what they meant by invalid because it worked fine before. They responded by saying invalid = broken....

No reason, just an arbitrary response. They told me to return it to the reseller. However that would be impossible as I bought it OEM about 3 months ago...

So, now I'm stuck with a 200 dollar frisbee.
Was this on the same computer? Or perhaps on a computer with a hardware change? OEM versions of the s/w can't be installed on any other hardware due to the terms of the license.
