Multiple Activations

I had to reinstall Vista. I already had
it activated. Now that I reinstalled it,
will the second activation fail ?

When I had Win XP, I had to call India.
and read them a bunch of numbers, and I
had to explain just what the heck I was
up to, in order to cause the activation to
fail.

Does Vista behave the same way ?
I installed it the first time less than
a month ago. Does the length of time
between installs have anything to do
with a failed activation ? I have the
exact same hardware for the second
install.

Please help me to understand about
the restrictions of Vista activation.

Thanks
Mike
 
Will the 2nd activation fail? You don't know until you try.

If it fails - call to activate.

Not unless the hardware has changed.
