I have the MSDN installation dvd for Vista. I had a XP MCE that I was going
to change to Vista as my first install. I decided to install the Home
Premium version, because I did not think I needed the Ultimate version.
After installation went just fine, I tried to join to my local domain and
discovered that you can't do that unless you install Ultimate. I looked for
a way to upgrade to Ultimate, since I also have an Ultimate key, but the
only upgrade info I could find was to "purchase" an upgrade. Just for
kicks, I followed the path and any of the online shops I chose would come up
at all, so if I needed to purchase the upgrade, I couldn't.

My real problem is how do I change the version to Ultilmate using the key
that I have?
 
I thought all vista versions are ultimate's they only switch between one and
another by looking at their keys.
So on installation, vista looks at your key and decides wich vista version
to install.
I guess you don't have an ultimate key, or used wrong key on installation.
Just my opinion...
