• The product key you entered will not work with this edition of Windows Vista. You must run the Windows Vista Setup program or enter a Windows Vista business product key

  Product key bad for the wrong version?

  Hello

  Recently the computer in business inherited from a friend, very fast and very good. Regardless of the operating system no - geniue, is with Vista Business, while the thumbnail of authentication is Vista Ultimate. I took a screenshot of what it says when I put Vista Ultimate product key: (it does not appear if you are unable to use it: P)

  He said: "the product key you entered will not work with this edition of Windows Vista. You must run the Windows Vista Setup program or enter a Windows Vista Business product key."

  How would the installation of Windows Vista? My files would still be there when you need him? My drivers would still exist? No matter what to get deleted or become unusable? He would return to SP1? Any response is welcome.

  You can order form of the manufacturer's recovery media.

  The reason why the system as non-authentique shows currently is using a license in Volume KMS - these licenses must be re-activated at least every 6 months by connecting to the KMS user license activation server.

  It will require a reformat and reinstall whatever you do, unless you can connect to the KMS - Volume media server cannot be upgraded under normal conditions.

• Windows 7 activation product key

  I bought windows 7 Ultimate for 3 PC and I am trying to re install on my computer I had my mother crashed. I need to reinstall and it says that my product key is not valid

  There is no Windows 7 Ultimate for 3 PCs, you need to refer to Windows 7 Home Premium Family Pack Upgrade for 3 PC.

  Please note that the family pack is an upgrade.

  Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  I do not speak for Microsoft. However, I saw many times when working with clients in your situation with regard to the reactivation of windows because of the failure of a component. They are not, however, responsible for providing you with a windows disc that should be provided by your computer manufacturer. However, if I were you, I would ask to borrow a disc of windows of a friend or a neighbour then contact Microsoft for activation, making sure to explain the circumstances surrounding the re-setup.

  You cannot use a Windows 7 Professional anytime upgrade product key with reinstall media, it can be used only to upgrade license of qualification basis where you bought the upgrade in the first place (Starter, Home Premium).

  The first thing you need to do is to get your key to Windows 7 Professional upgrade Express:
   
  An e-mail containing your product key will be sent to the e-mail address associated with your Windows Live ID account or e-mail address you provided if you ignored the account configuration. Note: If you use an email tool or spam blocker spam filter, be sure that you can receive e-mail messages from microsoft.com.
   
  What happens if I lose my product key?
   
  If you lose your product key, you can return to

  www.Windows7.com/GetKey and sign in using the "Sign In" link in the upper right of the page. This will allow to recover your product key if you have established your account with your Windows Live ID. If you do not configure a Windows Live ID account initially there is no record of your online product key. Check your e-mail since it is the only trace of your product key.

  Here are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:

• Error message, product key incorrect when you use the key from the bottom of my computer

  I've had my laptop for a long time, but it have not used for a lot more than internet stuff.  However, I occasionally used for Word documents and now apparently used a trial period free but I didn't know existed.  So, I'm trying to put in my product key to get full use of return, but the computer always tells me that it is a mistake.  And it's not!  The number is on a sticker on the bottom of my computer, and I entered it correctly several times.  That I do know?  Thank you.

  Please note that if you use the Windows 7 product key located on the certificate of authenticity attached to your system label, this will not work, it is only for Windows 7. You need a product key Office 2010.

• Need to find the original product key Windows 8 to reactivate the laptop!

  Hello

  I bought the laptop with Win 8 pre - install a few months back. Today, I decided to try to install Windows Media Center, and so after a bit of research I was directed to a Web page that said looking for 'add features' on the sidebar to win 8. She provided a cd key too that the requested Web site would be to activate Windows 8 Pro (including the media) for 90 days as a trial.

  To put in this new product key in and restart the computer, I now get the error code: 0xC004F074 on the Activation of Windows program, but also a watermark at the bottom that says: "activate Windows, go into settings of PC to activate Windows.

  The trial of course did not work and the product key is not valid. I would go back to the use of the product key of Windows 8 that came with the laptop, but I don't have the box of the laptop and there is no sticker on the bottom with the windows key on it 8. I tried a cd key recovery program, but the only key that appears is invalid I put in today, and not the key ive used since the first day.

  I live in the United Kingdom, but the laptop was purchased in a store online in America.

  Do you have any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance!

  Its likely that your computer came with Windows 8 and not Windows 8 Pro. You cannot add a key Windows 8 Pro Pack or Media Center unless you bought. There is no option available test.

  With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

  If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

  My recommendation would be to restore your computer to its factory settings:

  New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  No, if you have a recent version of Windows 7 installed on a computer and used the product key to activate it.  The PK is good for a single computer.
