Right. There are two flavors of Nero OEM, the generic OEM that does come
with a key, and the drive-specific OEM (comes in the box with the drive),
that will only work with a particular drive and *does not* come with a key.

As you have no key, the updates available from Ahead will only install as a
demo for you.

The only shot you have is to install your version on an XP box, that search
the registry for the key which will have been generated by the installer,
then try that key on the update you download for your Vista box.

Disclaimer: I have no idea if the key you find will work on the update. It's
a shot in the dark.
