After you choose “see other way

by using the automated phone system.
The next screen will display the nearest location

Windows 7. After this activation screen is
displayed you can change the location for your
location in order to make a suitable phone call.
Each location automated phone numbers differs
from other locations.
When you click Next button, the Windows 7
activation wizard will display the 3 steps you
should do in order to complete your
Windows 7 setup activation.
In the first step, you are listed with available
phone numbers. If available a toll-free
number, another toll number again if
available and an SMS yet available.
You will call given phone number to get a
confirmation ID. When you call the toll or
toll-free number by phone, you will ask for
which Microsoft product group
activation you are calling, for Windows Vista,
for Windows 7, for Microsoft Office, etc.
After you select Windows 7 (it was number 2
when I made my activation call for the
Virtual PC Win7 installation), you are
requested to enter the Installation Id by
typing on the phone.
This is the second step. Installation Id is
given on Step 2 section and is about 54 digit
long number grouped in 6 digit long 9 items.
After you enter your system installation id,
you will give a corresponding 54 digit long
Confirmation ID by the activation phone
system.
Please note this confirmation id on a piece of
paper or on your computer use the Notepad
application. Since you might type it wrong
for the first time. On the phone you can
listen the confirmation id again and again
and I can suggest you to select the listen
again option until your Windows 7 activation
is completed.
