• Will not activate Windows Vista on a HP computer.

  The motherboard on my computer went bad and wouldn't even start Windows Vista.  I replaced the motherboard and reinstalled Vista, but when I type the product key for Windows Vista Home Premium OEMAct HP sticker: [redacted key product], I get the message: "the product key you have entered does not seem to be a valid Windows Vista product key.»  Please check your product key, and then type it again.  I'm not able to activate Windows.  Please help me.

  Hello

  Since you have changed your motherboard the system configuration will be different, and this is the reason why you're not able to activate your copy of Windows Vista. I suggest do phone activation and check if you are able to activate your copy of Windows Vista. Click on the link below.

  cannot activate windows vista ultimate 64-bit it says error code: 0xc004E003

  Hi Jarska,

  ·        You did changes to the computer recently before the issue started?

  ·        If your computer came pre-installed with Windows Vista, or you don't have it installed separately?

  You receive this error 0xC004E003 when the Software Licensing Service reported that license evaluation failed on your computer. You can access the link below and follow the steps in method C and check if that helps you solve the problem of activation. If the C method does not work, you can follow the steps in method G and try activation using the automated phone system.

• Unable to activate Windows Vista by phone

  I just installed my windows vista in my new laptop computer. I received the license key on a sticker on the back of my previous laptop. I've heard that I need to activate my windows by phone in my new laptop computer. But the telephone activation option comes after clicking on activate windows now in system under windows activation. It shows the following screen.

  

  Hello

  The reason that you can not activate it is because you cannot transfer your product key license/Vista of your old laptop to another laptop.

  You need to buy another license of Vista from somewhere, but Microsoft sells more than vista.

  If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

  OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) and the license OEM System Builders are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when machine who dies.

  Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

  And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

  See you soon.
