i use synergy for my software for the Pos /payroll/inventory/etc i sell and on vista when you go start messing around with license managers it deletes the licenses i put on after you restart the computer. You have to get a third party program to keep the licenses in there so they wont get removed. Unless theres another way around it but after i had an hour of setting up the program and i restarted and it was magically gone i gave up. Also vista to me is just like windows me was to xp. The quick release to make some money until a better platform was out.
