Windows Vista OEM Key

Hi,

If i say bought a Vista Home Premium 64 - bit OEM but then Downloaded an Ultimate retail version, would the OEM Key i bought allow me to install and use the Ultimate that I downloaded, and would this ultimate Retail be under the same 1 motherboard / system limitation as the OEM ?

thanks
Mark

It wont work, otherwise everyone would do the same and MS would be very unhappy.

Of course it won't work! If you want Ultimate you need to buy Ultimate, the keys only work on the intended version.

Plus you'd (fairly obviously really) be breaking the law by downloading an illegal copy of anything.

You also might want to have a think about updating your sig.
