You do not use the Anytime Upgrade option at all. You instead run the
setup program for Windows 7 then choose the upgrade option.

So my mistake is that there must be some way to do the anytime upgrade and
do the repair/install, and then enter my activation code sometime after I
have done the upgrade? Will it take the code then without saying you have
to activate first?

What you do is upgrade your edition to the same edition, affectively doing a
repair install. Then you can use your key to activate the software.

Hi.
I do have a complete copy of Windows XP Ultimate that has never been
used, but I cannot install it in the VM Fusion4. I also have a license
for a Windows 7 professional upgrade. According to what I've read on the
VM site, the way to do this is to install from the upgrade media, but
not to activate the copy of windows. Then, do an anytime upgrade and use
your key for this upgrade. The trouble is, now Windows says I need to
activate windows before I do the upgrade, and when I try to activate it
says I cannot activate from this copy because the license is only an
upgrade license.
Anyone have suggestions, or an email address to VM support?
Thanks.
Bill
