Re-activation after memory upgrade

Hi,

I've just upgraded my Sony Media XL201 PC to 2Gb of RAM and Vista is now
asking for license re-activation within the next 3 days based on a
"substantial hardware change"!?!? When I select automatic activation it says
the license is already in use and that I should get another one.

I have a genuine Sony Vista Home Premium license so I'm not quite sure what
to do.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Richard.
 
You can get started with phone activation by typing "slui.exe 4"
(w/o the quotes) in the Start Search box in the Start Menu and pressing
Enter.
The phone activation process takes about 6 minutes.
 
Thanks Noel! I won't ask why it couldn't work this out for itself but its
now licensed properly.

Have a good rest of the week!

Cheers,
Richard.
 
Thanks Carey! I've now got it working properly again. Is this something
that Microsoft are going to fix?

Cheers,
Richard.
 
I had a similiar situation, but I had removed hardware(my sound card). I hope
this is not going to be a standard protocol; If it is, I'll seriously
consider buying a Mac. instead of a PC with the Vista Ultimate OS I'm looking
to buy within the next 2 weeks.
