Just call the 800-number that the activation dialogue pops up when it 
fails activation.  It's an IVR system, and it took about 5 minutes for 
me to get the code to activate my Vmware Fusion XP image when I did it 
a few weeks ago.

When they ask how many machines you have it installed on, just hit 
"1" until they stop asking "are you sure you only have this copy of 
Windows XP installed on one machine?"

Then they give you a new code to complete the activation, and you're 
finished.  It was pretty painless really.  Much better than the last 
time I did this, when I had to wait on hold for 20 minutes to talk to 
a real person.
