Vista OEM - how activation works

[SuB]

You can avoid having to activate when you're testing components by not entering a serial when installing, you'll have 30 days after installation to enter a serial and activate.

actually you have 3 on oem

No. If you have retail, you can activate it as many times as you want.

Ah kewl, so if u have a retail one u don`t need to keep calling them when u add stuff.

I'd hope so.

You know the Home premium, and other editions only contain 32bit, to get the 64bit version you have to send off to MS lol.
