Toshiba Phone System

Windows Vista activation key has expired. What now?

I failed to enter the activation key during the 30 days. I am now locked out. I have spoke to microsoft and toshiba by phone, and neither were of any help. i can get in by safe mode, but it's limited. what are my options? I dont have many files, so i can restore the system. But it won't load the backup disk in safe mode. In regular mode, i log in and only get "activation options". Any help would be great.

1. If this is a valid non pirated version of vista you should be able to log on in reduced functionality mode, then you will be able to activate through the control panel.
