Hey Gary:
Well, I found the digital locker you me to go to. The following happened.

It showed me; Your Software (1); Name: Windows Vista Home Premium to
Windows Vista Ultimate; Type: Software Date: 07/05/2007 - view &record your
license prior to downloading. All the important and needed information I
thought I required. I ws a happy camper. I clicked on - Install License.

Then it says: "Can not install License Package from the Edition of Windows
which you are using. For assistance please try one of the following. and gave
me a tel # a
link and an email address which I have since been in contact and an no
further ahead no than I was when I started. Besides that I believe what he
was trying to tell me was to wait until my computer was advised me to -
Activate Windows now - and then re-install the - Windows Anytime Upgrade
disc? Does this sound right?
