    Hi,

    I've got Vista basic, which I installed onto a new harddrive in  my computer that I was rebuilding, and activated it with no problems.

    Unfortionalty that computer wasn't working to well with Vista, so I brought a new one, and put my Vista basic onto that.

    Now when trying to activate Vista it says my product key is already in use. What do I do? How do I get if off my old computer, which has gone back to XP, and use it on the new one?

    Please try phone activating and speak with a customer service representative when you're given the option. You can get started with phone activation by typing "slui.exe 4" in the search field in the Start Menu and pressing Enter.

     

    Thanks!
