You bought a copy of Windows 7 for each computer?

You can install a Windows 7 purchase on several computers if you have the Family Pack. When you have the 'Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack' for 3 computers, it is a retail copy and you can install Windows 7 on three computers at once. He'll say 'Family Pack' on it.

When you have the regular commercial version, it can be moved to another computer, but it can be installed on a single computer at a time.

If you have a legal copy for each computer, try to activate again. If activation fails, see the Microsoft Diagnostics real link below.

  • Windows activation error: the product key you entered cannot be used to activate Windows on this computer.

    Activate Windows 7

    I would like to ask questions about how can activate my correct windows, I tried to activate it but he said to me (the product key you entered cannot be used to activate Windows on this computer) I don't know what I have to do?

    Windows product ID: 00426-068-2964761-86079

    Recently, there have been a rash of product keys for Windows 7 purchased from auction sites appear here as not authentic.  They appear to be related to this HROnline HrOnline code: 0xC004C4A2. If you have purchased a key of a web site selling auctions (like eBay), please understand that the seller would have sold this product to several people key, causing the key more on the blacklist. These keys were never intended for resale; they were intended for the software development or assessment depending on the program that they were obtained through. If you have purchased one of these keys and it became not genuine with the above code, you must purchase a new license for windows 7. Try to validate by going to www.microsoft.com/geniune and follow the links provided to repair windows.

    Added note. You have only a limited amount of time (45 days I think) filing a claim with the auction sites. Stay away from these keys, if you purchased a key that has turned non-genuine and are within 45 days of purchase file a claim. There are publishers of legitimate software on auction sites, but if it sounds too good to be true then don't buy it.

    Things to watch for.

    Recently reported several cases of blocked MSDN subscription product keys packed with legitimate research media. I can not stress enough to save your packaging, media and reception, if you buy software such as this to appeal to the Bank, you bought it and report it to www.microsoft.com/piracy.

    If you purchased a product key, with or without DVD or packaging of a sale auction web site (e.g. eBay) or any other person or seller and this could be a product key MSDN Subscritpion because your key has been blocked, you can check a few things.  If you have received your key with the physical product go to www.microsoft.com/howtotell and check your product.  However, some counterfeit software is if convince you may not be able to identify it as such.

    To check your PID the Win Key Press and have a break at the same time or open system properties in Control Panel, scroll to the activation section and look at the PID.  It will look something like this: 1234567-12345-067-54321.  The part that you are interested in is the section to three figures.  If it matches or is in one or two digits from the examples below, you probably have a "non-destinee for resale" MSDN subscription product key

    Suspect: 065, 066, 067 068 for Windows 7 Ultimate edition, 220 area for the professional and the 230, 231 area for Home Premium.  There are probably others, but they should be close to those posted.

  • Series "the product key you entered cannot be used to activate Windows on this computer" in Windows 7

    A while ago, me and my family bought a Windows 7 Home Premium with serial number good for use for 3 computers, we used on two and I just tried to install it on the third today (after all at least a year to have the disc sitting in a closet in the meantime be used).

    I gave my other computer laptop a new install the other day to get rid of everything I would be accumulated over the years that I just didn't need, which would cause the series be reused on the same laptop twice? I don't remember it asking me for entire series or anything at the time, that it was done by the internal system to reboot.

    Any help would be appreciated,

    See you soon.

    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.
