Is it possible to re-activate Vista via E-Mail? I am hearing impaired and
have problems understand the long string on numbers.
If possible what is the address?
Thanks

Hello,

no, this is impossible. It only works over Internet, by Phone and using a
key server.

Greetings,

There are only two ways to activate: internet or phone.
Perhaps you can contact a friend to help you.

Activation only allows two options - Internet or Telephone. Maybe the best
option is to ask a friend to make the call and he/she can relay the digits
to you. Once you have activated you might consider buying a third party
imaging application such as Acronis True Image and creating an image of your
hard drive. You can then store the image onto a DVD (or set of DVDs) or
another hard drive. Should you, at a later date, have problems you can
always re-image your hard drive from the copy you made with, say Acronis,
and your activation would still be intact. Obviously, if you change any
hardware in the meantime, you will still need to re-activate.

DOH !

At first I thought it was some type of activation patch!!!

I was going to ask if this was the same patch as the Vista Ultimate
(Permanently Activated) version that had been floating around the
binaries.

So why doesn't Microsoft provide proper means for people that are hearing
disabled to do activation? What if the person has no help available at
that time?

That's pretty sad in my opinion...

LOL>Thanks, Ron. I was sure there was a text option but I guess I never
bookmarked the site and that led me Google, TDD and TTY and activation for
the death and finally I found it but I really had to sift through a lot of
stuff to get there.:

Well this is interesting, I didn't know Microsoft had a TTY number.
I do not have a TTY phone, so is there a software program that simulates a
TTY phone?
Many thanks to all that have responded>

Contact your telephone company to see what options they have for getting TTY
service..
 
Vista will still complain about a cloaned disk even on the exact same
hardware, trust me I tried with Acronis 10 Home twice now and both times
after running for several hours Vista starts to whine that it needs to be
reactivated.

I run Raid0 and have had a drive fail unluckily twice in the last month.
The first was set of drives was 2-3 years old, the last one to fail lasted
about 2 weeks. Since the drives were in Raid0, the data had to be cloned off
and then back onto a rebuilt array. Today I went from the failing array, to
a temp drive, back to 1 drive out of the array. Within 4 hours, I get the
wonderful message that Vista needs activated again and I get to waste 10-15
minutes chatting with somebody in a foriegn land that is harder then hell to
understand. Thanks Microsoft for making Vista so user friendly....no wonder
its price is dropping like a rock to try to push out OEM copies instead of
WinXP.

I had the same issue with WinXP. I saved a image of a machine after getting
all of the latest drivers installed and the OS activated. Over a year later
with the same hardware, the machine was restored from the image and
immediately XP wanted to be reactivated. I beleive at that time I was using
Ghost.
