Activating Vista Enterpise, rebuild then what? vyaw2003[ at ]gmail.com 7/8/2007 10:51:45 AM If i activate a Windows Vista Enterprise PC, then blow it away and go to activate it again, does that count as 2 licenses? Does it work on the pc's MAC address? And if some of my staff activate there own machines at home with my Vista enterprise OS license, how could i possibly know who has used all my licenses? What does Microsoft provide to show who, and how many license i have activated under my companys Enterprise edition?

Provisions for license usage tracking are provided for in these by the network administrator, you need to consult with your company's software assurance provider for details. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com <vyaw2003[ at ]gmail.com> wrote in message news:1183891905.134317.293980[ at ]a26g2000pre.googlegroups.com...
