Re: Activation Woes

Old pc with Windows Vista Home Premium Upgrade died yesterday.

Built new pc and installed Vista from the upgrade disk. Clearly can't
activate it because I have a product key for an upgrade.

Bought a full version of Vista Home Premium. Tried using license key to
activate and am being told I have an invalid product id key (I'm using
the
license key given to me from the Digital Locker thing).

Dying to activate and move forward. Any thought would be appreciated.

Hi Suryjuto,

You might try doing a phone activation to get your Vista activated
again. This tutorial will show you how to if needed.

Hope this helps,
