Activation and Quotas

Hello.

I've recently replaced the hard drive on my laptop and now i need to
re-activate reader.

First off, i thought activations "cycled" in that something I registered a
few years ago would drop off the list and I'd get that quota available again.

Anyway, my point is that I've just tried to activate my laptop again and
I've no quota left. When I try and access the bit that says "retrieve extra
quota", I get a 500 internal server error - is this new or is it something
that needs to be fixed.

Now, for the slight complication - I expect to be getting a new laptop in a
few weeks - will I have any trouble getting that activated as well
(obviously, the one on this laptop will be removed as I will be using the
dell restore discs to wipe the machine before I put it on ebay).

So, can anyone help me out?

Cheers,
Tony.

Sorry, I posted this in the wrong group (should have been paying more
attention to which one I was reading

Cheers,
Tony.
