Vista Premium reporting invalid code

[=?iso-8859-1?Q?JethroUK=A9?=]

When i installed Vista Home Premium it reported that the code (the one on
the box) i entered was invalid

It still let me install it ????

I've tried entering the code several times since install and it still says
it's invalid

Is this common problem or have i got illegal copy?

Does it say it's invalid, or in use?

That is a common type of error.
Quite often what you see, or see incorrectly as in this case, you will
continue to see.
That is why I suggest having someone else try.
But you beat it on your own.
