Windows Vista Vista Business came with T60p...won't let me activate?

So I finally got it. Awesome. Much to my surprise, it included Vista Business, but the key does not work. And of course, it wouldn't take my Vista Ultimate key, so before I customize it any more, I'd like to know what that Microsoft # is when you have to call in because of key verification?????? It said so in the instructions that due to older BIOS, this was likely to happen, and that a BIOS update usually doesn't fix it, but it does sometimes. I upgraded the BIOS. No go.

Can some please post the U.S. # for Microsoft's "Vista key problem" line?

Thanks!!!!!

Edit: This is no attempt to get a free key. I could get as many keys as I want to, but I go the legal route. So I have exactly what's in my sig. The T7600 is still in transit....

As I'm writing on this machine, I am running Vista BUSINESS. I have a LEGAL key for it, but the documnetation said it would likely not be possible for "older" T60/p's due to somethng in the BIOS. So I upgraded the BIOS per their suggestion, although they persisted it may still not work.

I guess I should say ACTIVATE, not key. What's the activation hotline?

Also, my Vista Ultimate key always works when I install it from scratch. Hmm...So I no longer have XP at all, which is cool. I guess I'll want to do a dual-boot Vista Business x32, and Vista Ultimate x64, although I can't do the latter until the T7600 comes in.

So as not to waste space, should I install Ultimate over Business, and then the key situation is hopefully gone. I kind of like the idea of CLEAN installs better, but what say you, guys?

The instructions were on a supplemental sheet and came from Lenovo.

 

Steve, lol...yes I know. Even though I am excstatic about my new T60p, the numbers I found were all something else. And I've had an altercation with a darn cab driver. I'm tired. Please help. Why won't it activate anyway? The code is EMBEDDED in the recovery discs as usual. This blows man...

 

Thanks Arie...I was on the phone with them on a different number...I LOVE my new T60p. Microsoft wasted TWO AND A HALF HOURS of my time just now. I am so SICK of these outsourced jobs and having to talk to someone who I can barely understand and vice versa. I gotta go to bed. Tomorrow, I'll be striking back.

Thanks very much for the # dude...
