Product Key for Vista Ultimate

Thanks for the reply Mark, my question is than once taken back to factory
settings I just need to place my upgrade disk in and it shoud upgrade without
prompting me to purchase again? I have the product ID 20 digit key, is this
the license file? If not where can I find this file to make a copy of?
Thanks in advance. I have just been getting the run around from MS.

If you don't know where your "license" for the upgrade is, then...
From Microsoft...
"A personal digital locker is created for you when you purchase a Windows
Vista upgrade. Your digital locker stores your product keys and purchase
information which, when used together, allow you to reinstall your upgrade
if necessary. A copy of your upgrade is also stored in your digital locker.

To access your upgrade in your digital locker for recovery:

Click Start, and then click Control Panel. Double-click the digital locker
icon. Alternatively, you can go directly to the Digital Locker website.
