• Windows 8 does not accept the product key

  About 3 years ago I bought Windows 8 Pro (64-bit). In the meantime, I reinstalled the system a good several times because of some strange accidents (see my other question). Now, I tried to reinstall it again, until Windows 10 comes out, but activation does not accept the key. I read on other forums that this is probably beyond the limit of activations.

  Is there a way to reset the key or am I forced to buy a second?

  Thank you

• Why do I get: "invalid activation code?" with CS6 on a MacBook Pro?

  Help, please!

  I tried to install CS6 on a new MacBook Pro (I have a valid license, which can be found on my account of the adobe.com site).  I get a message of activation code not valid no matter what I try.  Here's what I've done so far which did not work:

  1. uninstalled and reinstalled the software

  2 disabled CS6 on an old laptop running the software

  3 tried installation in trial mode and then tried to activate (as well as a right with a code installation)

  4. establish a new user and I tried to install under the new user

  5. basically, I tried what I saw as a possible solution when reading the forums on this topic

  6 serial number entered has been checked and re-checked several times - it is my account of the adobe.com site

  7A a chat session back a little with a representative of adobe, but that case has been closed without solving the problem and I can not reopen - and I can't enter "chat."

  I talked to the following forum documents when you try the above: "invalid serial number error" and "error:"serial number is not valid for this product "|" Creative Suite. »

  I'm currently under OS El Capitan or 10.11.2 on a MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid 2015, retina).  Date and time are correct.  English has been used systematically.

  I said HELP already?

  John Merci for your help and suggestions!

  After trying your suggestions without success, I was able to do a chat session with Adobe today.  I figured out that I had 2 accounts Adobe with 2 email addresses.  The serial number that I used was for CS3 (I upgraded to CS6 in CS3).  When I finally came on the second adobe account, I discovered the CS6 serial number and installation ended safely.

  What a headache!  I think I have to tattoo the serial numbers on my forehead :)

• Windows XP is saying that he must be turned on, but will not accept my activation code.

  I have a PC that works with Windows XP for a few years.  It was off for awhile and when turned on, he insisted to be reactivated and will not go forward with windows loading until it has been registered.  Facilities to connect to the internet would not work as it seems to insist on the use of a dial-up access (it doesn't have a modem) and does not connect to my home network which has my broadband connection.  When I tried to activate by using the telephone service, he said that it is impossible to validate my copy as it can be hacked.  It certainly is not hacked, because it is an OEM version that worked for many years.  He refered me to microsoft.com/genuine, but this page doesn't give any help on what to do in this situation.  What should I do now?

  original title: my activation code for Windows is rejected.

  Interesting - you used an a Dell recovery disk to install XP on a Medion computer.

  No wonder, that he does not want to know!

  Try using the product key update tool to change the key for that on your COA sticker.

• New motherboard fitted now XP pro code is not accepted for activation.

  Hi, installed a new motherboard in my computer of girls. Went online to activate, but the key to license not accepted. So I reinstalled XP pro on hard drive, with the new motherboard, in the case where synchronization problem, still not accept product key. Tried to do it by phone. Same result. Finally spoke to a man who told me that the Packard Bell computer was five years old and so the disc that came with it was out of warranty. This maybe true reason not accepted activation key, or someone to give Microsoft could me the truth. Pete has soon

  Microsoft believes that to replace the results of the motherboard in a new computer, so you can not re - install an OEM copy on a new motherboard.

  Of course you did not subscribe to this in the EULA - this is another license which the seller agreed, not you.

  Sorry, you will need to purchase a new copy.

  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.
