I read that the activation key is good for installing Vista on one PC only.
So, if you install Vista and use the key and activate it, but you later
decided to reinstall Vista and do it by wiping your hard drive first and then
starting over with a clean installation and re-enter your product key, how
does Microsoft know that you aren't installing Vista on a second PC? I did
this, and I had no problems re-entering my product key and activating Vista.
I'm just curious about this installation limitation and how Microsoft can
know when you have uninstalled Vista.
