If your Windows 7 Pro key was purchased through /r/microsoftsoftwareswap then there's a good chance that Microsoft discovered that your key is invalid. Your best bet is to take the key you used (if you have it still) and contact the seller you purchased it from, and request a new key. Often they'll honor it if they see one of their keys no longer working, as it looks good on their behalf.

 

If your key was a retail key from Microsoft, contact them via Customer Support.
