Hi Mick,

Yes, I agree this does sound unusual, but it is not imposssible to
happen I suppose.

Just to clarify.
So you bought a new PC with Vista Home Premium or some other Edition
installed ?
You then took it to a shop to have it upgraded to Ultimate?
They gave you back the PC and took your money - BUT did they give you the
DVD for the Ultimate Upgrade ? or at very least the Certificate of
Authenticity and the Product Key.,
If they did not provide you with this then they have not legally upgraded
your PC. Unless they are carrying out
anytime upgrades on your behalf - but again they must provide you with the
product key.

Was this some back street store that did this for a lot less than a real
upgrade that you could have purchased yourself ? If so they you may have
gotten what you paid for, in terms of legitimacy, service and care.

Go back to them and demand
The original media DVD (or an explanation of just what they used)
The certificate of authenticity
The product key

You are entitled to (or at least a combination of) the above.
