mr.misho

i had my vista business 3 months ago
it worked just fine,even after sp1 installation
it is a legal copy and i got the original product key and activated
successfully
now windows tell me "your license will expire in 12 days"
what shall i do!do i reactivate or will i have to get a new key!
knowing that i didn't change any hardware of my pc.....

The chances are that you have a Beta version of SP1; remove it, and install
correct version SP1

the same just happened to me its because we are running an RC version
of SP1
which expires soon

uninstall the current SP1 & the final product should arrive in windows
updates
install it & there should be no reactivation required...
