I purchased an upgrade copy of Windows Vista Ultimate (educational discont) and installed it with no worries on my current rig.
I am planning to move to Australia in the near future. The Vista DVD that I purchased says "not for sale or use outside of North America or Latin America."
My question: will I have any troubles re-installing or activating Vista in Australia (because I plan to purchase new stuff and upgrade my rig)? Does Microsoft do anything like see that your IP is from outside of North or Latin America?
Should I be worried?
Yes, I have a legit copy of Windows XP so I can legitimately upgrade to Vista.
EDIT: on a similar note, I also have a slew of games I purchased off of Steam, and with the recent hoopla about people having their right to play their purchased games revoked (people who ordered the Orange box from zest.com), I'm worried about that too.
