Hi Superbill,

thanx for the link. I guess it's lucky I found out about this as I'll be getting a new m/b soon. As I my version of Vista is OEM (a lot cheaper at 60 quid a pop) my licence won't cover the new mobo and I may have considered some sort of 'get around'. I know you can usually just phone the guys at MS and obtain a new key but at least now I know that this is the safest route. Mind you depending how rich I'm feeling I might even blow the cash and buy a full licence version
