Hi,,

I have a question about the activation of Vista. I have already installed a
legal product (Vista Ultimate) on my pc. This pc is a bit old, so i thought,
i'll buy a new system. My question is, can i install Vista with the same
license as my old computer on the new one? (would it be activated?) I've got
a retail version.

Wouter.

Once you remove the first installation form the old PC you can then activate
probably via telephone on the new PC - just explain to the activation center
on the phone that you have moved this installation and that it is no longer
installed on the previous machine.

Yes, as long as you remove it from the old PC first, you may have to
reactivate by phone worst case.
