Windows Vista Ultimate OEM


Recommended Posts

will i be able to reformat my pc and reactivate the OEM copy of Vista further down line?

Yeah, as long as you don't change your motherboard, then you have to get a new license.

I dont know why you people think its too hard to call microsoft and activate over the phone.

It's not that it's hard; it's that it is against the terms of the licence. It is licenced to one computer - if you upgrade too much then it becomes a new computer and the only way to get Vista activated again is to lie and say that the OEM upgraded your computer or replaced the parts themselves, AFAIK.

Cheers for the pics! :)

My Home premium should be coming tuesday :D. I assume the serial is on the back, that white bit?

No problem. Yeah it is, and no i'm not taking a picture of that :p
