| Guest | Re: Windows Vista Ultimate Activation Hi, You don't release it, you use the phone activation method to (re)activate it on the new system. Your key will be reported as being in use by the automated system, so you need to speak to a phone rep who will activate it for you. Simply call, go through the automated system and if it fails hold the line for a real person to assist you. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Aditya" <Aditya@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:C2A56DF3-A83B-44B8-A0CD-9732FBEB80D6@xxxxxx

it to another machine. You can only do that with the retail version. If it is a retail version, then when you activate it on the new machine, you'll need to format the drive on the old machine to remove it. | ||||||||||||

| Senior Member ![]() | Re: Windows Vista Ultimate Activation NEWSFLASH!! Vista can be activated online one time only. Information was aquired from actual expeirience and from Microsoft directly. If you have already activated Vista online, any further activation of your product key, will need to be done via land line. |

| Guest | Re: Windows Vista Ultimate Activation Not entirely true. Part depends on time between activations. If you have a shorter time between activations, you will more likely need to activate by phone. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org "joel406" <joel406.2yk2y3@xxxxxx-mx.forums.net> wrote in message news:joel406.2yk2y3@xxxxxx-mx.forums.net...
