"...and enter your new product key as shown in Figure B.."

Maybe I am the dumbest person in the world but I have no idea what is this new product key. In the figure B, the only key is the one we are supposed to give by the phone. Should I retype this exact same key as seen in step 3?.

Man, do I feel dumb today.

Thanks for the tip, cause everything else worked.
