Is this right? New activation required for each Vista upgrade
I downloaded 5536 from the Microsoft site, then 5600 and am now downloading
5278. Each upgrade has needed to be activated (which I've done vocally over the phone without trouble). I just thought that, having activated it once, upgrades would not require re-activation. Colin

Similarly, I did a clean install of Beta2 on a spare computer, installed
some development apps, (VB6) etc, had it all working and activated. Then I gave it to my partner to use at a completely different location???. Vista insists on re-activation. Router hub was changed at the new site. Anyone have any ideas???? Garry "Spirefm" wrote in message ... I downloaded 5536 from the Microsoft site, then 5600 and am now downloading 5278.
