Vista License?

    I'm buying a second hand laptop on adverts and I just want to ask if there will be any issues with the licensing of Vista? Do I have to transfer the license to my name or is that even possible?
    All the installation cds are included in the sale so I'll probably do a clean install but am worried about it rejecting the conformation code as already used.

    If the laptop came with Vista installed and has a valid license key there should be no problem after you format and reinstall Vista.

    The key will remain valid after the format.

    Cool, that's all I wanted to know. I just often see people asking about licenses when they buy second hand pcs and laptops.

    Cheers.
