I have been using Vista via Parallels for a while now and it has worked great. This week it asked me for the activation key which I entered and I am getting an error message that states that "this activation code is not valid for clean install only an upgrade". I am using the FULL version of Vista Ultimate not an upgrade. I really don't want to go through the MS maze any ideas???
Have you activated your copy of Vista before? If so, I would say it is pretty strange that it asks you for the activation key again.
