Activate Vista Problem?

[treeman]

can i activate a copy of vista premium upgrade (academic) on a diff pc if used on a pc already?

thanks for any help,

no

[treeman]

thanks for all your help folks as the online activation would not allow me to activate this again. so i followed your advice and called the phone activation number and was given a new activation code no probs through the automated service and i didnt have to speak to any human !

cheers again for your help as i was almost about to spend another £70 for new vista disks so thanks!!

are you still using it on the first pc cuz the licence allows for it to be used on 1 machine only. Fair play if you have got around this

You will probably find the old code was disabled so the next time the first PC goes on line it will de-activate.

So - to recap - need to use 1st PC...phone Microsoft - get code - input xxx digits and PC works.

Next time - need to use other PC - phone Microsoft - get code - input xxx digits and PC works.

Repeat until bored!!

Or until Microsoft decide you have a dodgy copy of Vista
