Sir Michael --

I am traveling at present. If I don't return to home base until after the activation period has expired, do I run the risk of a lock-up, or simply repeated warnings from MSFT?

Thanks for the prompt response.

I recently installed VMware on my Vista 64-bit desktop. I used the Vista 32-bit software that I have on my laptop to set up a guest system. I believe that I now need to activate this latter system by purchasing a new license.

When I go the Computer\Properties route to activate the system and to purchase a new license, I keep getting the message "Unable to process your order at this time. Please try again later." (I am now several days later...)

Is there another route I should use to activate my software before my time expires (and my computer self destructs)?

Thanks for any assistance in this effort.

The cost of a Microsoft license is not so much in the CD/DVD as the keycode which accompanies it. Buy yourself a new copy..
