    Changing Product Key


    I am currently running Ultimate 64 bit RTM. I have not activated it. My question is: When I get my retail copy of Win 7, can I switch and use the new product key and then activate? Thanks.

So short story, I work at a college tech site that fixes student and faculty computers.
