Hello

If you have upgraded Vista to Windows 7 on the old computer, the Vista license is part of the licensing process upgraded and can be installed anywhere else.

You need a Windows 7 license to install to transfer the license of Vista and it would still imply the Vista being a retail Vista license license.

If Vista is preinstalled on the old computer, Dell, HP, etc., you can not transfer in any case because it is an OEM license.

See you soon.

    I got a new computer (an old dies) new a windows vista and I have to disable the old computer before I load the same copy of Vista on my new computer.  If yes how can I do this?

    If Vista is preinstalled on your OLD computer, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

    The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
    You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

    If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
    But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

    A single license is a single Installation.

    If it is a retail Vista license, read the information on the clean install and then reactivate it:

    Please note this step #9

    If the activation service informs you that she has failed and cannot help with activation, then STAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to an operator of activation which will help you to activate your copy of Vista. The operator will give you all the numbers to ID of Confirmation if they accept that your copy of Vista is legitimate.
    NOTE: The operator just explain your situation and what you did to require activation. (EX: hardware upgrade, installed Vista on a new computer after uninstalling it from the old one, etc...)

  • I just had to activate my Windows Vista via the phone. Can I do it again the next time I have reformat my computer?

    I once invited by Microsoft to activate my windows vista using phone... Thus, you will be asked to activate windows vista by using phone next time I have reformat my laptop?

    It is likely, but maybe not.

    Sometimes the internet activation works but stops working if you activate the product too expensive.

    For example, I reinstalled Windows and Office 5 times (on the same computer) in 2 weeks before and the activation of the internet has stopped working so I had to activate by phone.

    However a few months later the line internet activation reworked.
