Default Moving Vista license from one machine to another ????

Guys,
Got the Visa Ultimate retail and gonna install it on my existing (aging) P4
system with 1 gig RAM. However, in a few months I will want to move the
Vista license onto my new build PC - a Intel Quad core. How do I move the
software license from the old to the new machine ? If I activate whilst its
still on my old machine then the activation server will not allow the
activation on the new machine .... ????? If I uninstall from the old
machine, does some tool go to the activation server and say that the
software has been removed and is avilable to be legally installed elsewhere?

How does this work please?

Thanks, Steve
