Won't accept Product Key

[rick2184]

I recently had to reinstall Vista. When I went to register it I was told that it won't accept my product key number. It's the same install disk that was used to build the pc. I'm using Vista Ultimate.

Hi Rick,
Did you repaired your window or are you making a new copy of vista?
Try this product key. Hope it will works.

You can call the helpline phone number that is on the installation DVD. The activation wizard will guide you through the activation process. If you're unable to enter a product key without getting an error message, then try the following.
1.Boot Windows Vista from the Installation DVD.
2.When prompted to enter the Key Code, do not enter the code and click Next to continue with the setup. This will setup Vista as a 30 day trial.
3.When the setup is complete, run the Installation Disk again. This time enter the key code to activate your installation.
