And an expired OS won't cooperate with that plan. Can you do a rearm with the eval, the way you can with the "regular" Vista product activation? Maybe try running "slmgr -rearm" (then reboot) on the PC in question. All you need to do is get it running long enough to launch the upgrade installer, right? -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the intended recipient(s).
