    There is nothing preventing you from getting the disc:

    They are just ending the digital download version. You can still purchase the disc.

    Oh, well, I can't find where to get it......


    I didn't even know you could digitally download it. I wonder if there's anywhere I still could.

    Ah. I see. Your original post didn't mention that you previously owned the disc, only that you needed the disc. I incorrectly assumed that you had a copy of Vista and you wanted to upgrade to a different version.

    I think now you can only purchase the disc with a license, which means in order to get clean install media, you need to buy 2 licenses.

    Yeah, you can't just purchase the disk anymore, you have to purchase it with the addition of a license key. But like stated before you can download the digital river version of it and it is completely legal.
