Hi guys, i had 1 computer, and i installed Windows Vista Ultimate on it, and
made all the registration and stuffs, but then i bought a new computer and
sold the old one (and reinstalled the old one with another system and a diff
windows.), and now i installed Windows Vista Ultimate on this computer my old
cdkey isnt working anymore, since it says its already used, how can I fix
this? Cuz the other computer isnt even working or using internet.

Thx and sorry for my english.

I see three posibilities:

1) buy another copy

2) call MS and plead with them

3) install Linux

Welp, you've basically violated the EULA for Vista OEM.

OEM versions are only licensed for one machine, and it's tied to the FIRST
machine it's activated on.

You can't use it on another machine, even if you remove it from the first
machine, that's what it means when it states the the license isn't
transferable.

Basically, you're stuck, you can't legally install it on another computer.
You could beg Microsoft to give you a new key, but by the agreement, they
don't have to.

Ok thx, it was a mistake really cuz i wanted to test it, but i think i screw
it anyway.

And btw, how you reinstall then? Or it auto detect your components and lets
you reinstall it again? (Vista i mean)

Thx
