Code? If you meant the product key, it didn't ask me for it. Instead, the machine asked for a long string of numbers shown in the screen.

OEM and Retail codes are different by the way

I've been beaten to the answer and yes the others are completely correct in what they say.
You're lucky to have gotten a toll free number to call with, I was charged at national rate when I wanted to reactivate after making a dual-boot.
