• Windows 7 key invalid product after the re - install?

  I recently had to make a new re-install of Windows 7 Home Premium on my laptop using my USB and an iso I downloaded from Microsoft.  Everything was going great until yesterday when suddenly a box appears saying that my Windows could not be enabled because the key is not valid.  I used the product key that is located on the Windows sticker on the back of my laptop, so I know that it is legitimate and it seems rather strange that this would begin past 2 weeks after the new facility instead of immediately.  If anyone can shine a light on it, I'd appreciate it.

  Well, the errors disappeared, but you are still not activated, try the activation of the phone:

  Please run the Microsoft Genuine Diagnostics Tool then copy and paste the results into an answer here for further analysis:

  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.

  To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

• Invalid product after repair of XP Pro key. SP 3 VL

  I work for a school district in Ohio.  One of our teachers brought me his laptop which has a virus that has disabled the keyboard.  Because I couldn't get into the machine to run a virus scan I took the car out of the machine and put it in a USB enclosure external and plugged into another computer and ran a scan.  Then, I deleted viruses that were found.  I put the hard drive in the laptop, but whenever he tried to restart it would have a blue screen.  I had our Volume Lic. CD and proceeded to a repair installation.  When he arrives at the point of asking for the product key, I enter the key of our VL but it tells me that the key is not valid.

  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.  I can access the drive with my Ultimate Boot CD to add / remove files if nec.

  Thanks in advance.

  I was able to repair Windows xp with my VL cd.  After graduating in mode safe, once, but not again, I decided to try a repair a second time and it worked.

  Thanks for the help.  I hope it helps someone else.

• Toshiba l300 1 to 3 problem activation key for product win vista business 32xbit

  I have toshiba satellite l300 1 to 3, I formatted and reinstall (windows vista business 32xbit) and windows asks me for the product when I wrote they answer wrong product key please change what I have to do any help please?

  I don't understand what you're saying about a 'mobile activation in my system option.

  Here are the steps to follow in that link I gave you;

  

  SECOND OPTION:

  1. open the Start Menu.

  2 in the white line (search) box, type slui.exe 4 and press enter.

  3 select your nearest store and click the Next button. (See screenshot below)

  

  4 click on continue in the UAC prompt.

  5 a local phone number should apear with a set of numbers generated by Windows and displayed on your screen under step 2: . (See screenshot below)
  NOTE: It will be a series of numbers within the 1 to 9. I just removed here for obvious reasons.

  6 call the phone number of activation chosen.

  7 initially, the line of activation will be automated, so you will be asked to enter or to speak numbers (step 2 in the screenshot below step 10) displayed on your screen in the phone.

  8. If the automated Service is successful
  NOTE: In general, this is not always successful.

  (A) the automated service will issue a series of Confirmation ID numbers.
  NOTE: Have a pen and paper handy to write these numbers.

  (B) proceed to step 10.

  9. If the automated Service is unsuccessful

  (A) if the activation service informs you that she has failed and cannot help with activation, then STAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to an operator of activation which will help you to activate your copy of Vista. The operator will give you all the numbers to ID of Confirmation if they accept that your copy of Vista is legitimate.
  NOTE: The operator just explain your situation and what you did to require activation. (EX: hardware upgrade, installed Vista on a new computer after uninstalling it from the old one, etc...)

  10 type in the whole of the Confirmarion given you identification numbers in the step 3: area to be able to activate Vista. (See screenshot below)
  NOTE: You will get these numbers since the automated telephone system or operator after that that they confirmed the numbers you gave them in step 7 above.

  
  NOTE: The numbers in step 2 of this screenshot will be there for you to use in step 5 above. I just deleted the on this screenshot for obvious reasons.

  11 when you get the window of the Activation was successful , click close to complete. (See screenshot below)

  
   
   

• Activation key invalid for Netbook

  I tried on other operating systems on my netbook and uninstalled the windows starter 7 factory and has been tyring on ubuntu, jolicloud etc... When I went to windows 7 edition starter on my netbook it says my key is invalid.  The key which lies outside my netbook does not work and says its for windows 7 starter edition.  I was wondering if netbooks came not with the Starter 'real' windows 7 but another just for netbooks and this is why I get this error key? If that's true, y at - it a link to the installer or iso image and I was able to install that?

  I have a toshiba nb205 netbook.

  Thank you

• Windows 7 reinstall "invalid product key".

  I recently started a computer fixing for someone, they got three Dell Optiplex 755 desktop computers, and I got a few pieces of each of them (hard drive, processor, ram cards). I got the computer to boot, but since it's so old and I don't know what is the file system and it is a bit slow, I tried to reinstall Windows. I have the disc to install Windows 7 Professional x 64 and went to control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Recovery\Advanced recovery methods then clicked Reinstall windows. It restarts with the disc and went to the screen configuration, but then stopped and said that you can not install Windows because it has an invalid product key. Don't know why it does, but when I got to do start back when I also got to put in it, it says that Windows needs to be reactivated because of hardware changes, so in PowerShell, I typed in [slmgr-ato]. It worked, and after a reboot the lower right corner of the Office had more "Is not a genuine copy of Windows" on this subject, so I guess it worked. Can someone help me?

• W7 Upgrade activation key is no longer valid after the second boot disk failures.

  My computer, purchased in 2009, had Vista pre-installed (no disk). AprΦs dΘmarrage player shows errors last year I bought an update to W7 (this time as a virtual drive). The upgrade went without problems. Now, a year later, my boot drive has yet again, this time a complete crash. I had to replace the drive and install W7 from scratch - and now I get the error message that the activation key is valid for an upgrade, not for a new installation.

  I tried to restore from an Image backup, but it turned out that the image was also corrupted. I have nothing more than the 'User', no file system folder. The old boot drive is totally inaccessible (blue screen just at the moment where I try to reconnect it), the first disc of starting (with Vista on it) is gone (and there were gaps, in any case).

  I understand why this (activation key invalid) happens, but I also believe I am justified in using this version of W7 and should get it activated. Someone has any suggestions how to solve this problem?

  Thanks in advance for any help.
