Oem

Hi Guys

How many times can u activate an oem? I've installed XP Home on VMware and I had to call in to activate. I'm on Vista Ultimate which is also an oem.

Thank you

As far as I know, as many times as you like unless you have any major hardware changes such as changing your motherboard

As long as you can convince the noobish ms customer service rep on the other side that you had to replace your hardware because it blew up or you had to reformat.

They are usually fools so it's no problem.
