Product Key

[Guest]

I entered my product key and it was not valid. Now what?

Your problem is very unique.

Make sure you've accurately typed the product key for your version of VISTA.

Make sure you are using the correct product key - and not the product key
for Office, or another Windows OS...

I often have to enter my product key several times before I get it right.
Things like 'B' vs. '8', etc.

I had that happen to me with an XP install. I called Microsoft support and
they just gave me another product key on the phone which worked
properly. -William

Hi, Frank.

At least, Vista warns us if we mistype a group of 5 characters. ;<) With
earlier Windows, we didn't know which batch the error was in so we had to
scrutinize all 25 characters. :>(

Or lower case "L's" and the number 1. Depending on the font, it can be very
hard to discern which is which....
