Hello,

I currently have Windows Vista Ultimate Edition 32bit installed on my computer. Recently it has been telling me to activate it into a "Genuine Version". To note the copy of my Windows Vista has been installed using an "OEM" product key. My questions is, will I need a special OEM product key or something to activate my copy of Windows Vista Ultimate? Or will any regular Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit key will work for my activation.

Im new on this website and forum..please help out

Thankyouzz :))

Yes. OEM and retail product keys are different.

You will need one from an OEM package.

There are hundreds posted out on the net.. I came across a place that looked like it was run by field service contractors.. OEM's for all the major makes.. but you will have to do your own searching because we ain't allowed to help.

Now why has your OEM come up hookey all of a sudden? .. get skanked with a 30 day trial OS from some lockin scumbag retailer perchance?

Just shows how right Richard Stallman is with his "you buy something subject to activation.. you have bought NOTHING" comments..

Wipe it and install linux.. always free and always legal.. never calls you a thief for using something you bought..
Never calls you a thief at all......
When it's free it's not possible to steal it.. unless you like selling stuff that is freely available elsewhere.. and you get caught out big time doing that.. hahahaha
