Activation Woes
Old pc with Windows Vista Home Premium Upgrade died yesterday.
Built new pc and installed Vista from the upgrade disk. Clearly can't activate it because I have a product key for an upgrade. Bought a full version of Vista Home Premium. Tried using license key to activate and am being told I have an invalid product id key (I'm using the license key given to me from the Digital Locker thing). Dying to activate and move forward. Any thought would be appreciated. |

Aye, I checked those links and no dice. I'd rather not have to go thru the
hassle of reinstalling and would love for the full license to work. "propman" wrote: Suryjuto wrote: Old pc with Windows Vista Home Premium Upgrade died yesterday.

This tutorial will show you how to if needed. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/84...sta-phone.html Hope this helps, Shawn -- Brink *There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.* '*VISTA FORUMS*' (http://www.vistax64.com) *Please post feedback to help others.* |
