I just purchased a new desktop and have turned my older desktop into a server with Windows Server 2003. The older machine had a validated copy of Vista Business on it but it has now been replaced. On my new machine when I try to activate my copy of VISTA Business with the original key I get the message that the validation key is in use. What to do?
By the way, I am an instructor at a college and my key came from the ELMS system.
