Hi

We have a machine that was originally licensed with Windows Vista Business
OEM, but has currently XP Professional installed, using the downgrade
entitlement.

The XP Professional is in english language but the user now want's to have
it in spanish language.

So, we were planning to do a clean install with an XP Professional Spanish
media and re-use the original license key.

Would this work or would we need to buy a new license ?

Thanks

New license. The English key will not work with the Spanish media.
