What source would I need to install Ultimate?
I got a CD downloaded through a retailer, but I want to make sure that the
img file is for ultimate as well.
There is only an enterprise.clg file within the img file.

Which retailer is selling you downloaded images of Windows Vista Enterprise
Edition?
Vista Enterprise is only available as part of a volume license agreement and
as such you receive media and access to a private Microsoft web site that
allows download of product.
Third party retailers (as far as I know) are NOT authorized to sell product
via download.
It sounds suspiciously like you have bought a pirated copy of the software.
Please post a link to the vendors web site
 
Ok. I do not know what the purchasing dept does. We are a govt institution.
So we should have volume license.
Here's what I have and I need to do:

On the downloaded img file there is only enterprise edition when I import
the image to SIM (System Image Manager) - some one else downloaded the img
file.
We got around 100 license keys from the license vendor (I think the vendor
sold the keys only).

I need the ultimate and enterprise business edition. I think one license key
would do it for the deployment, right? I do not need to import 100 license
keys to the Volume Activation Manager, right?

Pls help.

OK so your guys probable downloaded the Enterprise Edition image file from
the Microsoft site.
So use that to create and Enterprise Edition disk.

OK. You you have an image you can deploy

Now this gets a little odd - but you could have purchased 100 licenses for
your Volume License Editions of Vista Enterprise.
You get one key with 100 activations on it. (kind of like the 10
actiavtions keys MSDN get if you are familiar with that.)
I need the ultimate and enterprise business edition.

No - you only have the Enterprise Edition as part of your Volume License
Agreement and that is all you have downloaded.
Enterprise is only available under a VL. As far as I am aware at the moment
Ultimate is not on VL.
I think one license key would do it for the deployment, right? I do not
need to import 100 license keys to the Volume Activation Manager, right?

By Volume Activation Manger do you mean a KMS ? A key management server -
the service that you run on a server hat actiavte the machines internally
without them going to Microsoft for activation?
If that is the case then yes you import the 100 activation key into the KMS
and it will start activating machines once 25 get up and running on the
wire.
Pls help.
