Home Premium to Ultimate Upgrade problem

Recently my disk crashed so I had the fun of reinstalling Vista from the
other partition on my disk. All went well until I needed to upgrade to
Ultimate.

Prior to the crash I conducted a Anytime Upgrade, where I purchased the
license file online from Staples. I still have this license file on my disk.

When I try to perform the Anytime Upgrade, it is asking me to purchase
another license to upgrade to Ultimate.

Is there a way around this since I already have a license, or do I have to
buy a retail version of Ultimate?

Re: Home Premium to Ultimate Upgrade problem


Carey,
Thanks for the reply. I logged onto my Locker account and realized that I
never uploaded my license file here, and I'm having a bit of trouble
uploading it now. Do you have any pointers on how I can get the license file
to my Locker?

Thanks again for your help.
