Serious, if possible ;D. How does it work. Somebody owning such a sticker needs to send it to Microsoft? The sticker is for the install medias + license? I don't think so. IIRC a friend who once bought a PC got the install medias for Vista 32, and 64 bit, but he needed to register the install. The computer buying price included a light version of Vista, to get the full version, there was the need to pay again. IIRC something needed to be unlocked. Am I suffering from delusions of lunacy or may I remember correctly? Perhaps both ;). Hm! I found this link: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/Windows-license-key-from-sticker-are-unreadable/td-p/598847 He? http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/existing-customers/product-activation.aspx I don't understand it, but suspect that getting the sticker won't help. OTOH, I'm not suffering from delusions of lunacy, at least not regarding to my memories. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
