Windows Vista Ultimate Activating problems after updating to SP1
Hi Windows Community!

I got Windows Vista Ultimate as a gift from a Microsoft Employee, and I did
activate it, just after the installation.

Yesterday, I did update to the Service Pack 1, and now it says that my key
is already used :S

Proof that I have the disks:

Please, help me!

You can reset your Windows Vista activation by performing the following:

1. Click on the Start button and in the Start Search box type in: slui.exe 4

2. Press the Enter key on your keyboard.

3. Select your Country.

4. Follow the instructions for phone activation.

5. Once completed, restart your computer.

Re: Windows Vista Ultimate Activating problems after updating to SP1
Peter,
Not unusual, it's just reporting it is being used by YOU. It's confused.
There should be a toll free number to call. Go through prompts, if you
don't get exactly what you need, wait on the line for a real person.
They'll ask a couple of questions and reactivate it for you. Make sure you
have the key handy.

Hello Peter,
Did you get a ballon popup prior to the activation notification and if so
what was on that message? The exact text string if possible.

Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
