activation problems....

[vistablues]

Hello there,

I bought a upgrade version (Vista Home Premium) yesterday and did a clean
install (backup'd files I still needed). Everything is working fine accept
for the fact that i can't activate Vista. When i enter my product key it says
that this version is meant for upgrade and not for a new install. I found
that a bitt odd because I had to clean install. Anyway, now i'm trying to get
a new license key and I keep getting this error:


Error
We are unable to process your order at this time. Please try again later.
Error Code: 1067

I simply want my Vista activated , that's all. Can anyone help?

Hi Greetz,

Normally you cannot do a clean install with a Upgrade version of Vista,
only a full version. However, there is a way to do a clean install with
a upgrade version. This will show you how.

Your activation problem is due to the fact that you have not installed
it a second time yet according to the tutorial. If you have a problem
activating Vista again after using the method in the tutorial, then this
will show you how to do a Phone activation to get your Vista activated.

Hope this helps you,
