Having checked I cannot find an upgrade path from Home to Business. I have a
client with 5 Vista Home PC's which need to be moved to Business in order to
connect to SBS2003.

What options are available?

Many thanks

Geoff

Upgrade to Vista Ultimate, the supported upgrade path.

Thanks for the response. I realised this is the supported path but Ultimate
is a bit top heavy for what they want to do.

If the Home version is not an OEM version, you could buy the business
version and use the Home version(s) on another computer(s) without violating
the license (depending on upgrade license factors).

Its OEM ... no matter, they realise now it would have been good to ask some
questions before rushing out and buying willynilly ..
