Is this right? New activation required for each Vista upgrade

I downloaded 5536 from the Microsoft site, then 5600 and am now downloading
5278. Each upgrade has needed to be activated (which I've done vocally over
the phone without trouble). I just thought that, having activated it once,
upgrades would not require re-activation.

Similarly, I did a clean install of Beta2 on a spare computer, installed
some development apps, (VB6) etc, had it all working and activated.

Then I gave it to my partner to use at a completely different location???.

Vista insists on re-activation.

Router hub was changed at the new site.

Anyone have any ideas????

Upgrades do require activation
same as a upgrade of any XP os
its a "new" os so this is standard
 
I am having the same problem activating 5600 if you find the answer please
let me know.

Thanks
