Hi

I just bought Windows 7 Ultimate in the USA and when I got to the airport to catch my plane back to Australia I noticed that it said USA Only on a little white sticker.

Does that mean I cannot use it it Australia?

thanks for any advice

regards

Daniel

I don't see how it could make a difference.

Hello daniellouwrens, welcome to Seven Forums!



We have seen several different members (from different countries) with regional specific Windows 7 versions have an extremely difficult time getting their version to activate in another country.

US only might have meant English only! The only regional restriction I know of is in the Home basic edition.

That is very good to know. I would have thought, like BFK, that you might get activation problems. Some guys had reported such problems. I myself took one from the US to Germany. But that was not marked "US only" and it worked.
