vista OEM move to another computer?

[TRDCorolla1]

I have Windows Vista Business installed on two computers and it activated fine, well, after I called Microsoft. I got some Indian woman on the other line reading the manual word for word, lol. I told her that I had to reinstall Windows (on the same computer) because of boot problems. She just said, "ok sir, I will start by giving you the first set of number....."

lol..you would think Microsoft would see these forums and notice we are ripping them off according the user agreements

No, it's just an activation code windows uses to know it is activated. It is not a new key by any means.

No..you use your same licence key. they give you an activation key which you type in

 

[rfactor]

it would be possible to activate it on 2 computers..the time you would run into trouble would be when you go to windows update and it does the genuine advantage validation crap.

it will only be activated one 1 though since the HDDs from this comp are going in the new 1 which I am building

then you should not have a problem
