yaar, the method u are asking for would be illegal.

u can do activation over the net if u dont want to call cc.

Tally Accounting Software can be uninstall and install, over internet infinite times on different system (provided successfully uninstalled over net), not in the case of Vista.

- I observed, may be incorrect, pls post views.

I read in digit(Some Past issue) that there is some method in XP through which we do not need to activate the windows again and again... Isn't there any such method for vista....

And about making image with Norton Ghost... is the software free or suggest any other software using which we can make the image....

And my vista came with my laptop so its an OEM version and it doesnt gets activated over the net... i have 2 call each time i reinstall....

Good news is that OEM versions specifically do have a method to do so:
