小弟發現使用DELL附的隨機版光碟,
不論是在安裝XP 或VISTA時,都不用輸入序號
但是顯然每台機器的光碟片又都是一樣的(畢竟這樣才能大量製造,總不會每個序號燒一張光碟)
所以這樣是如何通過MS驗証的呢?
因為小弟發現機器內部的授權貼紙與VISTA OS內顯示的不一樣
(機器上的實體貼紙顯示的是常見的XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX...)
(但系統內顯示的就像是OEM的援權碼:XXXXX-OEM-XXXXX)
最近在煩惱轉換32 bit與64 bit Vista的授權事宜(小弟是商業版),幸好最近似乎找到一絲曙光:
就是32 bit與 64bit的版本序號是通用的,MS也提供寄送64 bit的光碟服務(要提供原版序號與運費)
(http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/1033/ordermedia/default.mspx)
這樣小弟是否只要跟同為Dell的網友拿到64 Bit 的隨機版光碟,就可以使用?
(記得所謂入門版、商業版也都是序號的不同而非光碟的不同)
PS:剛好最近又跟Dell接洽增購零件,不知道Dell願不願意讓小弟換或加送我一張光碟?

是的,假如你拿到同型號電腦64 bit的還原光碟,應該可以使用。
但重點是這樣是犯法的,理論上你不能這樣做,因為買的作業系統只有32 bit而已。
Dell應該不太可能加送你64 bit的光碟,你買電腦時就要決定要哪種系統,是要花錢買的。
隨機板跟盒裝板不一樣,應該不能補給你64 bit
我不知道Dell有無可能事後加購系統(應該不太可能),一種辦法是你購買盒裝板
我不是Dell用戶,有錯請指正。
謝謝eintagsfliege兄的回答,小弟也知道當初OEM的軟體是使用者付費連同主機一起買的~
會好奇可不可以從32-bit轉64-bit也是因為看到微軟自己的網站上的說明
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/1033/ordermedia/default.mspx
64-bit DVD
If your system features a 64-bit processor, you can take advantage of its advanced design by ordering 64-bit software media. You'll get the same interface, features, and functions, but you'll get them in an operating system that takes advantage of access to vastly more memory. All installation files are on a single disc. Please note that 64-bit media is included in the box with the purchase of Windows Vista Ultimate.
The 64-bit version of Windows Vista is not for everyone. Please confirm that your system, applications, and devices are compatible with a 64-bit edition of Windows Vista before installing. Learn more about the 64-bit editions of Windows Vista.
You can order either of these alternate media for a minimal fee, including shipping and handling. To order, you'll need to supply the 25-character product key that came with your purchase.* You'll find the product key on a yellow sticker on the back of your DVD media holder.
所以才好奇OEM版的適不適用~
(不過這個問題好像應該問MS)
以下是官方討論區的64bit Vista 處理/討論串

Per Dell_Bill_B:
Quote:
1. Per Dell policy, if you purchased 32 bit Vista of any version, you are entitled to the 64 bit DVD of the same version upon request, with the caveat that Dell does not provide complete 64 bit driver support for all platforms. XP 32-to-64 bit is excluded from this policy. Consumer (aka Home and Home Office) purchases are not eligible for the 64 bit DVD as of June 3. This is subject to change.
2. For customers in the U.S. region, your best bet to get the DVD is from tech support. It will help if you can use a little Dell lingo to point them in the right direction. If the agent seems unaware of the policy, or unwilling to dispatch the DVD, you might try quoting the Dell policy document something like this: "I know I am entitled to this DVD. If you would kindly check DSN policy document ID 158098, 5th bullet under Policy, first sub-bullet."
3. This is supposed to be a global policy, but I can not say for certain it applies in all regions, and agents in other regions may not be able to access the same internal document using the same document ID.
Per ChrisM:

Quote:
The current policy is as follows -
Client customers who purchased Vista Business 32-bit or Vista Ultimate 32-bit are eligible for the same version in the 64-bit DVDs. Vista Home 32-bit is excluded from the upgrade policy. These upgrades require no approval, nor does a replacement certificate of authenticity (COA) need to be sent. Consumer customers are currently excluded from this offer.
Client customer = any PC purchased from the sales page Small and Medium Bisiness or Large Business section
Consumer customer = any PC purchased from the sales page Home and Home Office section
所以顯然這是有例可循的事情 (我剛在UK訂一台Vostro 410,看來應該是可以照著跑去要求一張 64bit Vista Business 光碟). 不過要記得的是,照ChrisM上面的講法是,你這個動作只能跟Customer Service 或是 Tech Support要求,Sales是不管(也不對這件事負責任)的. 然後當然,戴爾本身也不會對所有64bit OS/software相關的問題進行支援(意思是讓你自生自滅啦....),只單純作硬體的保固(除非你換回32bit版 Vista)

感謝smallce幫大家詳細的查明,看來這個Policy是很有利使用者的~
ps:新的機種有些隨機就可以選配64bit的OS,所以看來應該也可以有tech support的喔~
ps2:Wave 出的Embassy trust suite好像在Vista 64下不會安裝Private information manager
結果原本在32/XP版本有的利用TPM晶片存網站密碼的功能好像消失了,小弟還在研究中~
PS3:紅色警戒3在Vista 64下真的可以跑~雖然system requirement特別註明OS要XP或32bit版的Vista
