reusing cd-key?

[Guest]

hi there,
i needed to format my harddrive... reinstalled my copy of vista ultimate and
can't register my key a second time... can you only install the once from the
vista disk? hope not for $260 dollars (OEM)

Hi Liam,

You can reinstall and reactivate (not reregister) as many times as you deem
necessary, but after the first time you must use the phone activation
method. If the automated system fails, then just hold the line for a real
live person.
