Way back in Nov I ordered 2 OEM copies of XP Pro from NewEgg and today I rec'd my 2 free OEM Vista Business Moduslink upgrades. WhoooHoooo I finially got'm. But here's the problem, they have a paper notice inserted in the case saying that this...
Okay let's be clear, I'm not interested in pirating or breaking any licensing terms.
I have 2 PCs, a desktop and laptop, both currently running xp media centre. Purchased my laptop in January and I've submitted, but am still waiting for my vista express upgrade.
It was always my intention to upgrade the laptop first, since that's just an entertainment PC.
Anyway, I received a complementary copy of vista home premium upgrade from Microsoft today (long story basically I moaned that my desktop was purchased just before the express upgrade started, with a big dose of my disability/special equipment!).
Seems like the ModusLink site now shows that validated orders will be shipped out in March.
But, unfortunately, as to WHEN? in March, remains to be seen.
Earlier rather than later, I hope!
If anyone has more info, please post.
Thanks.
Hi,
I will tell you my disaster story as some of you on here may have the same problem and not know about it.
I redeemed my upgrade for Vista Home Premium a few weeks ago, about 7 days later it said COA/POP Validated. I contacted Moduslink via email to ask when i will get my disc and a few days later they replied saying my "COS IS INVALID" but online it was showing "COA/POP VALIDATED"
REASON: When i made my order and if you are in the UK Moduslink said many peoples Debit Cards are being rejectd by the system and you can only pay by Credit Card.
So i contacted Modulink on 00800 783 6414 (United Kingdom) and they said i will need make a new order as my debit card was declined.
As with other users I am still waiting for my "Free Upgrade" to Windows Vista from ModusLink for my Acer Laptop. I to have sent emails with no response. I had to send a copy of the reciept via email as their fax number did not work so I am not even sure if they have got it. If anyone else has had to send it by email and had a response I would like to know.
Does anyone know what the situation is with the licence? The machine the upgrade is for is an additional machine that goes with my desktop. Will the licence allow me to put Vista onto my desktop as well?
I was planning to wait until Vista was launched before purchasing a new PC but with the Vista Redemption scheme I went ahead in early December. Since then I've been trying to redeem the Vista voucher through Moduslink (Microsoft contractors) but each time I get a massage saying the COA is invalid. I have sent several email to Moduslink, and the PC supplier, and so far Moduslink have only sent an acknowledgment and a message saying 'try again', which I did, and still got the COA invalid message.
The information has been entered correctly and my PC supplier is a reputably UK company.
As of 2 days ago, when I check my order for the express upgrade to Vista order at ModusLink, the order status shows COA validation failed.
Strange thing is that before Wednesday the order status showed POP/COA validated.
I have been trying to contact ModusLink by phone but to no avail as I keep getting message that customer service officer lines are busy.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
Please advise.
Thanks.
