• Activation error: 0xC004C003 after upgrade to Windows 10 8.1

  Last September, I bought this computer, it is Toshiba Satellite L50-A-19N, he was originally Windows 8, I've updated for Windows 8.1 and it enabled all the time until the upgrade of Windows 10, now it shows "error code: 0xC004C003" which means that the key is not valid.
  "Connect to the internet to activate windows.

  

  Change product key button does not work, the settings window just freezes and I have to close it using the Manager tasks.

  I found the original key using this script, it's quite different key that is displayed in settings > Privacy page
  http://pastebin.com/THmGQcgk
  

  Running this command

  slmgr-IPK MY47H deleted

  This appears when I try to activate using the original key, at least I think it is original because I got using this vbs script

  Activation of Windows (r), Core edition (2b1f36bb-deleted)...
  Error: 0xC004C003 the activation server determined that the specified product key is blocked

  I read that I can somehow contact toshiba or microsoft for the original for my product key, but I can't find any info contact, or live chat, only in this forum, so I ask here

  Microsoft was told to contact TOSHIBA... How can I contact TOSHIBA for the original key? I have the original key, but I want to be sure if that is true.

  original title: can I put my machine after GWA?

  It's a Genuine Windows Kit which is what you would be considered a retail license. In other words, that it is transferable to another computer, which means you have the right to support directly from Microsoft.

• Again - the EULA allows to keep Windows XP after the installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7

  The EULA allows to keep Windows XP after installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7?
  I understand that the EULA (EULA) prohibits the USE of the operating system upgraded - must also be removed from the system?

  I intend to upgrade a pre-installed Windows Media Center 2006 on a Gateway computer to a level of detail to Windows 7 Pro 64 - bit.  I am adding a new hard drive, as this case nears end of life... and plan to install the operating system upgraded to the new HD - because I have XP 32 bit to Win7-64 bit... and a "custom" installation is necessary, anyway.

  This will result in an operating system XP on the old hard drive and the new OS Win7 Pro 64 - bit on the new drive.  There have been suggestions that the answer to this question is simply to remove the "old" operating system, after activating the 'new' Windows 7.  However - I see that any installation (or REINSTALLATION) of the operating system upgraded to Win 7 requires the previous XP to be "present on the computer.

  QUESTION: as long as I don't 'USE' the BONE replaced/implemented to date, I am in compliance with the EULA?  Alternatively, do I install "over" this Windows Media Player OS - on the old, due to lack of hard drive?

  The Media Center EULA States: «...» "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 you upgrade, you can no longer use the software upgrade of. ... ', but is silent (as far as I can find by reading the EULA on the question of if software upgrade HAVE to be 'destroyed'.)

  (See: http://download.microsoft.com/Documents/UseTerms/Windows%207_Professional_English_7bb89e9f-20ea-4555-892f-394539ec1090.pdf "")

  Thanks for your review (a reference to the appropriate Microsoft documentation would be nice too)

  You said above, «...» "You will be able to upgrade to Windows XP, it is a qualification license... »

  And I assume you are talking about my software Windows XP Media Center Edition (currently installed), as being a "qualification licence".

  That is right.

  Are we in agreement that a copy preinstalled OEM of Windows XP Media Center Edition IS extendable with a 'detail' update the license for Windows 7?

  His qualification, but you can't make a real room upgrade, you can do a custom installation. See the previous post on how to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7. An upgrade maintains the personal files, settings and installed applications.

  I understand the ban on using the OEM OS software OR the upgrade replacement software on one computer other than the one on which it was originally installed by the OEM.

  I also understand that I cannot use the "improved" XP Media Center software, once the upgrade of Windows 7 has occurred.

  The rest to determine if it NEEDS to be deleted or replaced... you have no guidance on this issue?

  Well, when you perform a custom installation, in essence, it is deleted or replaced. Then, it is part of the upgrade license. It's like it becomes a mind is more tangible, but always there as a base to which the upgrade license may exist on your system.

• lost activation of windows 7 when I uninstalled windows 10

  I have a used laptop bought with windows 7 on it two years ago.  I went through the process of activation then and it has been very well give me all the updates.  Two months ago, I received the windows 10 icon I have my tray and upgrade to windows free 10.  I had minor problems with windows 10 so restored to windows 7.  Everything was fine until now, all of a sudden im told my windows 7 is not enabled and it will not activate. I have no product key for windows 7 and I did not find and write down the product key for windows 10 when I have I had it installed. So now I have no way to reactivate my windows 7 and 10 windows will not reinstall. I'm sure that Microsoft, intended as a client validates windows 7 (without a product registered for her key) to have free windows 10 that now will be no reinstall and now even my windows 7 is ruined for activation. Please notify. I'd be happy to either get one activated windows 7 return or a 10 windows reinstall. Thank you, James H.

  By own tell you all wiping files and start from scratch?

  Yes.  Obviously you should back up files that you want to keep the first.  He pourrait be possible perform an installation developed level, but given your situation with the activation of Windows 7, I would recommend not this.

  This means that I would need a drive on the right.

  Yes (or the equivalent files on a USB key).

  I have a windows disc 10 resettlement which says I need a product key. But you are saying maybe I can live without this product key request?

  Yes.

  I just tried using the free windows than 10 download. It gives me a download but nothing happens when I try to "run" it. I guess that's because this isn't a new installation?

  You need start from the disc to start the process.  You must be careful to install the same version of Windows 10 you had before; You can not go home Pro and vice versa.

• Get the 'Message (unacceptable)' error while activating my Windows 7 product key.

  * Original title: product key

  When I want to active my windows 7 it ask me to enter the product key, but I can not enter the number (0) and I have this

  Message (unacceptable character)
  

  I've updated since an activated copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1, then I decided to reinstall using either the. ISO file, reset the player's PC or recovery, but I am prompted to enter a product key:

  Click on that later

  Windows 10 automatically reactivates in the coming days.

  Things you should know:

  • A Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 product key cannot Activate Windows 10. Windows 10 uses its own unique product key.
    
  • By default, the versions of Windows 10 are previously entered, which means, you don't have to enter a product key and should not be invited to enter one as long as you upgraded a activated License of Windows 7 or Windows 8 or 8.1 of Windows or Windows 10 Preview build.
     
  • If you perform a clean installation on the first attempt, you will have to start from an activated installation of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1.
    
  • If you are prompted to enter a product key, click on Do this later and give it a few days, 10 Windows will be activated automatically.
    
  • Activation servers may be overwhelmed at the time due to the volume of updates, so give it some time if you get an error of the type ()0XC004E003, 0x8007000D, 0x8007232b or 0x8007007B) 10 Windows will activate eventually as long as you upgrade by using the appropriate method.
    
  • It does not need to know your product key Windows 10, read "Understanding Product Activation in Windows 10:

  Figure 10 Windows Product Activation:

  In previous versions of Windows, when you have installed a version upgrade of Windows, if you want to reinstall the upgrade version, you had first reinstall permissible version where you upgraded, reactivate, then upgrade again and reactivate again.

  With Windows 10, this is no longer the case. Once you have upgraded to Windows 10 and enable, you can simply create a bootable copy on DVD or USB and reinstall all Windows 10 without having to reinstall the release candidate and it automatically reactivates.

  Quote:

  "10 keys Windows handles differently. When you migrate to Windows 10 via Windows Update to 8.1 Windows or Windows 7, the process saves your eligible hardware and OS computer with a Microsoft Product Activation Server. The device is considered as a device Windows 10.

  "Thereafter every time you re-install (or clean install) installation check in with these servers, concludes the unique installation ID and product validation.

  OEM of Windows 7 versions have the following limitations of 'important ':

  (2) OEM licenses are tied to the computer 1 you install and activate it on.

  (3) you cannot reuse/reinstall an OEM version on another computer or another/replacement motherboard.

  (4) the OEM versions cannot be used to upgrade an earlier version of Windows, you must perform a

• Activation of Windows 7 after reinstallation problem

  So, a few weeks ago, my laptop has been infected with something, and my bf suggested resinstalling the operating system to wipe the computer clean, so we did. We used his copy of the full edition of Windows 7 that he had bought in a bookshop on campus. Jump in now, I realize that I have to activate windows and try to do it with the product of his cd key. When it starts to turn on, it says "the following error occurred while trying to use the product key: Code: 0xC004F061 Description: the Software Licensing Service determined that this specified product usable only key for the upgrade, not for new installations." Because this does not work, I used the key on the back of my laptop. Then he said: "the product key you entered will not work with this edition of Windows 7." You must run the installation of Windows 7 or enter a product key Windows 7 Ultimate. »

  If I'm screwed? I'll have to go and buy ANOTHER copy of Windows 7 Ultimate so I can have a 'legitimate' Windows copy, even if it already is legit? Help, please. Thank you.
