If you are changing motherboards, you can see if Microsoft will re-activate your key on the new board. Will be easier if its a retail key and not OEM. If not, then you will need to buy a new copy.

Yes, call Microsoft on the phone. When you enter your product key in to activate it and should it give you an error, it will give you a number to call to get help with the registration.
