have replaced vista Home Premium, with a fresh install of Win 7 pro full of detail. Can I use Vista lic. on a new box as it will always be active on one box only?

the question in the title,

Hi, Jim,.

Windows 7 update?

If a version upgrade, I do not think so because if detects before installing the files of the previous OS (Vista).  If the previous operating system is not there, it will not be installed.

If you have wiped the drive and installed Windows 7 and Windows Vista is the OEM supplied with the system, version no.

Golden rule: a license installed on a PC

A retail version of Windows Vista could be transferred from one pc to another if the previous pc is wiped.
