Where do I find Vista Enterprise on the Volume Licensing site?

  • Article

Popular question this week - I would like to install Vista Enterprise SP1 but I am unable to find it on the volume license website for download. Can you assist?

There is a trick to locating it, just remember that Vista Enterprise is only available as a Software Assurance benefit.  The volume license option for Vista Business with SA actually includes "w/VisEnterprise" in the name.  So to download it, rather than looking under the Windows section, scroll down and look under Software Assurance.

Note that the "upgrade" you seen here does not upgrade from RTM to SP1, rather an upgrade from XP, or Vista Business, just like there was a Vista Enterprise upgrade disk for Vista RTM.  The SP1 stand alone update should be hitting the site soon so you can in place upgrade existing Vista machines.
