How To Reinstall Anywhere Ultimate using Ultimate RTM Disk
Decided to do a clean install after sp1 issues but ASUS G73JH restore disk had been scratched and so I used a Windows Ultimate Disk instead.Of course it wouldn't accept my Anywhere Ultimate code so I used another one I have but when I tried to change to the Anywhere one b4 activating it wouldn't let me.So I did the reg change and reset the sl manager as mentioned here. Still no good so I loaded the old installations software hive using regedit and copied the
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\DigitalProductId] from the old windows to the new one.
Now I was able to activate the thing with my Anywhere code . I'd searched for the answer how but didn't find one so thought I'd paste one here in case anyone else wants to save the bother of having to install the original then have to do the anywhere upgrade.
Cheers
