Where did you install it first?
Where did you get the disk?

If it was at your cousins house then you SOL cause he activated it first

Did you just recently activate your copy or did you activate it right after you installed it?

This discussion kind of borderlines the warez policy, since you talk of having the same OS installed on 2 different PC's (only one of which belongs to you) and that violates Microsoft's end user licence. The reason you are getting that message should be obvious: your registration number is not legitimate, and Microsoft's server recognizes that it isn't.
