Activation of the window

I have my window Vista software I installed it on my laptop but now wonder key, I have the key I put it in but it says my key its valid in

I paid for a product with an invalid key?

If you mean that you can not activate automatically, try to do it manually:

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.

To solve the real problem, repost on the Forum of real advantage to:http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/genuinevista/threads.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • Can we use this product key on the back of the laptop for the activation and the windows 7 Professional 32-bit to windows 7 Professional 64-bit upgrade?

    I have a laptop HP originally shipped with windows 7 32-bit professional. Now I want to upgrade to windows 7 professional 64 bit. I don't have with me installation disk. So I thought that it is possible (and legal) to resume an installation of windows 7 professional 64 bit disc from a friend and use this product key on the back of my laptop computer to activate windows after the installation of 64-bit? I'm a bit confused.

    NOTE: This sticker on the laptop has windows 7 pro oa, and a product key to 25 digits (xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx) written on it.

    In addition, the product ID in the information system in the control panel is OEM.

    Yes, you can use the product key located on the COA sticker with a full retail version or the version upgrade Windows 7 Professional disc.

    You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

    Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

    Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

    http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

    Boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)
    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:
    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.
    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

    Several users have reported similar problems during the installation of the add-on from Yahoo. You can try to disable this in Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons, if necessary.

    If this isn't the case, you can also check if this happens in Safe Mode. Safe mode disables the installed Extensionsand themes (appearance) in (Alt + T) Tools > Add-ons. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - manual setting is Tools > Options > Advanced > general > use hardware acceleration when available. All these settings/options/additional custom modules can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed to normal mode of Firefox to check if an extension, theme, option or a hardware acceleration is causing issues.

  • Should what key I use on my existing direct KMS host server for Windows 10 activations before the release of the 2016 Server?

    Issue of the company.

    At first glance, this should have a simple answer. Of course the Windows 2010 KMS key for my good company?

    Only I think Yes, because using a Windows client (which is Windows 10) KMS key on the KMS host allows only version and low-level Windows client KMS Activation for Vista and Windows 7/8/8.1 - no server product. Certainly in the past, this has been the case.

    In the past, this was not a problem because the server and the client product were released at the same time and you would just install the KMS key last Windows Server product on the KMS host computer. Once installed, it would activate the time server and client OSs contacted the KMS host. For example my server currently has an installed server 2012-R2_VOLUME_KMS key, which activates the right client and server versions of Windows 2008\Vista.

    So my question is, what key to KMS server do I use on the KMS server, to enable 10 activations and activation 2008r2\2012r2 Windows Server Windows in 6-9 months before Ms. free and publishes a key KMS Windows Server 2016?

    This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

  • Key and original Windows XP disc has activation with the re-installation problem

    My old machine running on Windows XP Professional exploded in April. I bought a new one and installed the original software (performed by a technician here in SA) disc.

    Microsoft raised a question on the authentic software and I provided all the originals to the Microsoft Help team, but my technician was to get Windows running again may 23 (after 8 days of waiting for a response from the Microsoft Help Center).

    Today the Windows operating system were asked again for activation - but it says that it is enabled.

    However I can not open a session.

    Is the product key: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

    Margie Hengstberger

    Hi Margie.

    Let me start by saying that is a bad idea to share your first and last name on a public forum. It is just as bad validate your product key. Fortunately, it has been blocked or deleted.

    Then, the majority of us who provide assistance here does not work for Microsoft. We are volunteers who give of our time and our knowledge. Therefore, your file number and the name of the person who helped you is of no consequence to us.

    With that, on the way, we will, if we can solve your problem. It is clear from your message and correct me if I'm wrong, that you have a Windows disk that was used to install Windows Xp on your current computer by some technicians where you live. Validation/activation issues have emerged, now, with the current computer. Apparently the technicians who installed Windows on your current computer gave you the Windows disc. Am I correct so far? If not, please tell me what I'm missing.

    In the interest of time assume that my interpretation of the scenario is correct. I would be very surprised if the disc you received is legitimate. It seems that the computer was in the period 30 trial when you received that would explain why you now get a request to activate Windows. The period seems to be very close to matching the scenario I described as well.

    Personally, if it was my computer and I had paid someone (the technicians who installed Windows) to the computer or to install Windows, I come back to that person and ask it be fixed. I think maybe it's where is the problem and who is responsible for this problem.

    For now, I will provide you with instructions to reset the trial period. However, the number of times that this is limited to four. Therefore, once the new trial has started, you will need to solve this problem one way or another, with technicians who have installed Windows on the computer.

    The trial of Activation reset:
    ------------------------------

    1 turn on your PC

    2 repeatedly press F8 and go to Safe Mode

    3. connect according to the normal
    (Note: administrator password is usually empty, or use the recovery password if CD does not know the password)

    4. leave the Office to fully charge (who answered "Yes" to continue mode without failure)
    (Note: this is just a long way to say go to Safe Mode)

    5. click on start - run

    6 type exactly: rundll32.exe syssetup, SetupOobeBnk (then click OK)
    (Note: a single space after 'rundll32.exe' also the Oo are two letter o in "oobe"; capital and the comma are important)

    7. wait a few seconds (although you won't see any change)

    8 restart your PC normally (start - stop - restart - Ok)
