I'm not sure exactly how Vista works, but for XP, after you've gone over the number of allowed activations (I think it's two), then you would need to call in to get it activated. You could just say you've removed it from your old computer. I've done it numerous times in the past.

I would assume it should be the same for Vista. I can't imagine that they would deactivate an already validated system... but I could be wrong.
