Please Help me understand - Activation

Hello,

Now i got Football Manager 2009 for christmas and I was really excited about playing it. I got it and installed it on my desktop, which doesnt at all have the memory RAM to support this game, and it was hell installing it ( all these problems ) so i then decided to install it on my powerfull laptop. The installation was fine! Loaded up steam, signed into steam with my account created on my desktop, put the game in, installed steam update, click launch game, i get the option to press launch or copy these digits to clip board, i click launch ( i already tried copy to clipboard) and every f*****cking time a pop up (soft anchor - online activation) occurs asking me to put my product key in, i copy it in! press next, and OH NO! " This unlock key is already active. To purchase an unlock key, please visit: http://www.sigames.com"

What the hell do i do!?
