Changing Windows Vista product key









Like XP, it is possible to change the license key for your Vista. However, reactivation is required.

To do this:
  • Go to Start> right click Computer> Properties
  • At the bottom of the page, click Change product key

  • Enter the new key in the Product Key and click Next
  • At this point, you can have two possibilities:

1. If you were connected to the Internet, activation is automatic and a window will tell you if your key is valid or not.
2. If you were not connected to the Internet, then you activate Windows by phone. Follow the instructions in the setup wizard. It is advisable to install Service Pack 1 for Vista for a complete list of phone numbers.
