Thanks to Val and others that responded.
I'd figured out that leaving the registration key field blank was a method
to work-around the problem, but was concerned about the embedded warnings
and what would happen when 30-days were up. The article covers that -- run
the Vista upgrade again, effectively "upgrading" the just installed clean
upgrade so it can be activated. Only from the minds of Redmond, I suppose.
Other upgrade paths I have seen allow just inputting a valid license key
from a previous version or temporarily inserting the previous version
CD/DVD. If my memory serves me, Frontpage was one of those products, and
the upgrade would work even if the previous version was also an upgrade.
