Parallels vs BootCamp activation key

$

Hello.  

I have access to Windows/Office 365 from my school.   I am working on a MacBook Air. 

Last semester, I tried to use Parallels on this laptop with disastrous results, and I ended up actually having to do a clean install of MAC OSX with data wiped completely (thank God for the cloud!!).  This time around, I decided to use BootCamp, which has been working perfectly.

The problem is that I am trying to activate Windows using the activation code I got when I purchased Windows a few months ago to use with Parallels.  I am getting an error message that says that key is in use on another computer.  It is not in use under the previous install....this computer was completely wiped.  How can I clear the old install information so I don't need to purchase another copy of windows? Thank you!
