how long does it take to have my Microsoft Windows license key to be renewed again? (to use it again for registration online) does it renew on its own or do we have to call them?

There is no such thing as a "license key renewal." Once you register a license on a particular machine, it is registered forever on that machine. If you need to move the software to a different machine - for example, if the old machine died - you have to call Microsoft after you have reinstalled the application and get them to issue you a new registration key. BE AWARE THAT IT IS ILLEGAL TO DO THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE REMOVED THE SOFTWARE FROM THE OLD MACHINE. IOW, if the old machine is still up and running, you must REMOVE the software from that machine first before it is legal for you to reinstall and reregister it on a new computer.

Hope this helps!
