Is Windows VISTA sold with --OEM-- license ONLY for manufacturer by Nijmegen
....or is it also for users, who don't run a comapny? I have bought a Windows VISTA DVD and when I received it, it had "OEM System Builder Pack" written on it. It also says: "EXCLUSIVELY for system builders." And after some research on the Wikipedia I see that COMPANIES that sell PCs normally buy OEM licenced software.

Can't Activate, Got the 0xC004C003... by Nathaniel Lind
I tried the suggestion in the KB article (931276) but it brought me an 0xC004F061 error. I've installed Vista to a new HD (old one died). I only have 4 days left (got the warning earlier). I had someone install Vista on this new HD and AFAIK he did install my XP first before installing this. Any help would be appreciated.

I want to upgrade from Vista Ultimate 32 to VU 64. I originally had VB 32 and bought the upgrade for VU 64 which is in my digital locker and then I have an upgrade cd MS sent me. Would I have to purchse the other DVD for the minimal fee and if so how would I go about using my VU pk for the VU 64 edition. I am quite familiar with how to install it just not sure how I need to get to that point

Dual boot XP Vista licencing by PhilT[_3_]
I need to have XP and Vista dual boot on 15 machines in a training suite. Current thinking is to get the machines (Dell) with XP installed under their Vista Business downgrade rights. This apparently gives us the XP and vista media and licences. Install Vista on the second partition - job done. Think of dual booting as a real time choice to exercise downgrade

Installation freezing at "Please Wait" by snugthejoiner
I'm assuming by now that you have solved your problem. However, if not, you can try F8 while booting and go to LAST KNOWN GOOD CONFIGURATION (ADVANCED) hopefully your system will allow you to log in. In my case (I'm using Vista Ultimate 32bit), I have tried to load PC-Tools Antivirus and something got corrupted. Once I had logged in
