    I bought a Sony TZ from eBay but it didn't come with the Vista DVD. I have the Genuine Vista Business Licence Key on a sticker on the base of my TZ.

    Is is possible I can get the Vista DVD from Sony, or anywhere else? Not looking for a pirate copy, I have a genuine Vista licence! Thanks

    Any upgrade/install dvd will work. If is not illegal if you use your key, as you have stated. You can purchase an upgrade disc for $10 or get one from a friend. Sony may send you a premade ISO disc with the drivers injected already, which will hinder a clean install but can make life easy for some. Good luck.
