It has just come to my attention that the activation limit has been set by Microsoft at 2 . I’m hoping this is wrong but this appears to be a fact. What does this mean ? It means if your motherboard, hard drive, graphics card or major component in your computer has to be upgraded or exchanged, you will have to reinstall Vista. Then it has to be activated. When you’ve used up two activations, ( won’t take a lot to do that ), then you won’t be able to activate your licensed copy of Vista
This means you will have to buy another copy of Vista or another license. Looking back, I must have had Windows XP activated at least 10 times, a conservative guess which means I would have had to buy 5 copies of XP given the same limitations. With this I can’t understand WHY nobody is taking issues with this or at the very least bring this to the forefront of Vista’s
Forum Issues. God help the gamers or upgraders as they are in for a shock when they find this out after they bought it. Whatever anyone can do to make this a bigger issue to make others aware of Microsoft’s limit on Vista activations, should post on forums or do whatever they can as a lot of people are going to assume the activation is going to be the same as XP !
