so, I bought a used retail version of Vista Ultimate...

the guy said he'd installed it and activated, but has since uninstalled & it hasn't been in use for some time.

will I have issues activating it?

At most, you should only need to phone in to activate it in case it doesn't activate online.

I've been able to activate mine like 5 times so far without calling, not sure why.

I just used 4 installs of Vista64 last month. Too much registry tweaking.
