It stops working.

It should offer you a phone call. The phone call almost always takes less
than five minutes.

What happens when you try? What specific error messages do you get?
What do your system event logs report? Have you tried activating via
telephone? What specific troubleshooting steps have you already taken,
and what were the results of each?

No one can help if you don't provide at least a modicum of information.

You will no longer be able to use Windows.

Here are the facts pertaining to activation:
