activation key - key correct, but invalid.

• Windows Vista activation key is invalid.

  We've had this laptop for about 3 years now.  We recently had to take in our repair guy and he re-installed Windows Vista for us.  The laptop worked great since then (several weeks) until the end of last week.

  We started getting a pop up notice to activate Windows.  I was hesitant to click on it until I could talk with our guys from the computer.  In the meantime our wallpaper would disappear anytime we stop or restart the machine.  Then this morning when I started the computer upwards the lower right got the message: "Windows Vista (TM) Build 6002 this copy of Windows is not genuine".

  I called our repair guy and he said that happens sometimes with a re - install.  He said to go and activate Windows.  When I do, before I even get to a place to enter the activation key, the box that opens shows "Windows Vista home premium product key you typed is invalid for activation".

  It follows with the options: "Buy a new product key online", "Type a different product key" or "Contact Microsoft to help solve this problem."  I chose the second option, using the product key on the bottom of our machine and got the message "the product key you entered is not a valid Windows Vista product key.  Please check your product key, and then type it again. "I checked the key and spruced up and got the same message.

  Can someone help me please understand what is the problem and how to fix it?  Or at least provide a way to talk to a living person as the "Contact Microsoft to help solve this problem" option in my head of activation window me to a page that had me trying to activate, which opened in the same window that I had already opened.

  So, after all the time that I spent to fight with this problem and check and recheck the product key, it seems I should actually check the prescription of glasses - I was confused with a 'B' for '8 '.  Once I typed the key * correctly * everything was fine.  I even restarted my computer twice to be sure that all "stuck".  Sheesh, I feel stupid.

  Thanks for your help. :-)

  Your Dell computer is too old (bios of 2003) were shipped originally with Vista Home Premium.  It's the bios does not even recognize that Vista even existed when it was written (no SLIC table).  I venture a guess that the sticker of the product key on the box of your desktop for Windows XP Edition family (as normally shipped with this computer.)  Vista was not yet released for manufacturers of computers until the end of 2006.

  Now your choice.  Buy a license retail for Vista or Windows 7 (if you can find the drivers for your computer 2003) or get the original installation discs and reinstall Windows which shows on the license on the case sticker.

• I format my PC and have the product ID, but not the activation key

  Hello people,

  As the question says I have format my computer forgetting to pick up my activation key. I did, however, recover my product ID before formatting the device. The installed copy of Windows was previously purchased through the Express upgrade.
  I know that, as a general rule, it is impossible to get this key to return, but is it possible since I have the product ID and the same defined material? Please advice.

  Product ID is for customer support, cannot help regarding the activation of the software.

  Will send me you a confirmation email with my product key?

  Yes. 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.

• Activation key is invalid after reinstalling Windows 7?

  So today, I traded one of the my laptop a new SSD HARD drives and do a clean installation of Windows by downloading an ISO clean, non-modified and write my activation key, and it installed fine, however, trying to turn it on, I get a message saying that my key is invalid for activation. Should I start my old HDD and first disable the original copy? Because I don't like * not to spend money on another key for this crap OS, especially given how much they cost generally.

  the key to your report is an OEM SLP key. an OEM SLP key only works with the manufacturers recovery media.

  You can use the key to your COST.

  Yes, you must purchase a full license for the second installation of Windows 7 product key.  1 activation allows only one Windows 7 product key.  Apparently, you now have a second facility that requires a second product key. Carey Frisch

• Clean install of Windows 7 but the activation key does not work

  Hello, enter a new installation of Windows 7, the first OS on a new construction of the mine.

  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.

  If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

  How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Click on drive Options

  Select the disc/s click on Delete

  Click new

  Click on apply

  Click OK

  Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation
