I just found some emails that I have on a laptop that show 2

different
keys for ultimate upgrades. I wonder if it matters which one I use.

I
am still missing one key for a third system. If it doesn't matter

what
key I use then I am all set for all three systems. If it does I will
have to try both keys to see which one works for which install.

I am not sure but, wrong key might screw up another machines update.
Let me get a key program installed on the Toshiba and see if it shows

the
upgrade key or not. Will get back to you.

OK, Thanks. I will have to wait until tomorrow as it's way past my
bed time.

Thanks again Ken.

I used this program, http://www.magicaljellybean.com/ and it found

the
anytime upgrade key, only. I still think you would have to know what

key
you used for the original install, as the upgrade key is probably tied

to
the install key.

That's what I was worried about. I might just have to try it and see
what happens. I do have a clone of every system I have so it would
only cost me time.


You said you have 3 systems running Ultimate from Anytime Upgrade, if the
two other systems are working you could run the key finder program on
those and don't use those keys on the system you have to rebuild.

BTW, the way I understand your first post, the key Belarc reported is the
key for Ultimate but you tried to use it with Home Premium which of
course would not work. What I would do, is install Home Premium without
entering a key (and without activating it) and try to upgrade it
immediately with the Anytime Upgrade file this time using the key
reported by Belarc and see if it works.
