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

I am Reid Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Yeah, as long as you don't change your motherboard, then you have to get a new license. Im pretty sure thats wrong. I dont know why you people think its too hard to call microsoft and activate over the phone.

theyarecomingforyou Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 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.

neufuse Veteran Posted January 22, 2007 Veteran Share Posted January 22, 2007 Ultimate comes with both 32Bit and 64Bit support I believe? I thought only retail came with both?
