It means your copy of windows has already been registered with the Microsoft server. The only way to get a genuine copy - is to buy an installation disk from a computer shop, or pay a fee to Microsoft for a genuine product key.

Because you're either using a copy that's already been registered - or you're using an illegal copy !

How do you use window 7 ultimate 32 bit in my second PC after damage first PC?

If you mean that you had a computer, put on a copy of Windows 7 you purchased, then damaged the computer and got a new one and you now want to use the Windows 7 disc you have, you may have to call microsoft and let them know you wish to put your registered Window copy on a new unit. Windows is only supposed to be installed on one unit per end-user copy of Windows. If you typed in your product key code already on your old unit, you will have to call Microsoft support and ask them to free your code for re-use. They will not always be able to do this for you but they're usually able to.
