GTA IV - "Can't sign in because you have exceeded the usage...." HELP needed :)

GTA IV Steam Version

So I recently reinstalled which I do quite regular, went to install GTA IV on Steam this morning and at the GFWL signing in stage it's telling me -

"Can't sign in because you have exceeded the usage allowed by your product key"

I take it's an activation limit thing going on.Does anyone know what I have to do to get it reactivated?

Thanks alot in advance

contact steam. GTA IV had limited activations as third party DRM on PC, and as you can see... its screwing you over.
