SYMPTOMS
When you try to use Windows Anytime Upgrade (WAU) to upgrade Windows Vista, you may receive the following error message:
Note This problem occurs after you complete the WAU purchase process, and then you click the link to download the upgrade.

This problem may also occur if either of the following conditions is true:
- An error occurs during the download process.
- The Automatic Update Manager (AUM) does not correctly format the XML for the Digital License Package (DLP) before the download process is started.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, click the link that is included in the purchase confirmation e-mail to download the upgrade again.
Note If this problem persists, contact WAU support to obtain a new DLP.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
