Check PM answers to all of your questions.


As to why I think we all know why????
could be warezed corp edtition and wants to install SP1.




Also I tried to change my corp edition to a retail legally purchased product key and with out chnging the PID in windows it wouldn't except it. OH well reformat and clean install for me, was planning to do it once SP1 came out anyway.
