Activation product key for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit problems

I've had this computer for a while. Several years ago, a friend of mine asked me if I would like to install windows 7 Professional at half price because he pre-ordered 2 copies at half price. I was running Vista and bought from him. I have never had any problems with the product code, through 3 motherboards, (HP hurts many mothers), and have a computer repair store to install a new hard drive by using the same product activation code. I reinstalled Windows 7 pro 64 bits once before experiencing a lot of problems and so about 10 days ago. I have not had any problems until yesterday when I had a messaqge saying that my product key has not been accepted. I have no time to this address until today and I keep re - enter the product key and get the error Code 0xC004C008 message that says that my product key is not valid. Until that time, Windows update has installed more than 100 updates without problem. What can I do? I bought this in good faith and the product key worked before, whenever it was necessary.

Try the phone activation:

1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
(2) press the ENTER"" key.
(3) to select your "country" you are in the drop-down list.
(4) choose the option "activate phone".
(5) stay on the phone * do not select/press any option * and wait for a person to help you.
(6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.
(7) the person must give you a confirmation ID, copy it down on paper,
(8) check that the ID is correct in reading the support person.
(9) to enter the ID number, then click 'Next' to complete the activation process.

Also, make sure your product report ID:

The part you are interested in is the section to three digits of the number to identify the product, if it corresponds or is included in one or two digits of the examples below, you probably have a MSDN or TechNet product key. "These keys must not be sold for retail use.

065 066 067, 068, 069 for Ultimate, 220 for professional and 230, 231, 232 area for Home Premium,

There are probably others, but they should be close to those that are displayed"
(How to be certain - download the Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool listed above).

Note: Though that illegally sold MSDN/TechNet allow product key for activation of more than one
(usually 5 or 10), so these keys can be sold "several times" before activation may fail.

  • Purchased a product key for Windows 7 Professional, but you must enter a different product key activation

    My laptop came with a Windows 7 Basic program trial and the trial ended so I bought a product key for Windows 7 Professional, because I got a discount on that student. When I try to activate it, it says I need to enter the product key for what I already use but I don't know the key to it. What am I doing here? Do I have to buy a product key for my Windows 7 original also?

    Windows 7 Home Basic Edition is not a trial.

    Is the Windows 7 Professional a full, level or Express upgrade?

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    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.

    Hello

    Anyone know how to get a new existing product key of windows XP Professional 32-bit OS? (my key has reached the max limit).

    Please HELP URGENTLY if youi can as I have now just 1 day left to activate (& risk losing all my work in the last days where I reformatted and reloaded all programs, etc.). Really, I don't want to not upgrade to windows 7 (already tried) until I absolutely have to also really enjoy windows xp prof os - but complete support & can't buy more then? Download the new key or extend my use of existing key?

    PLSE Help!

    Thank you

    Angie

    There is no such thing as a "max usage limit" (other than to be in use on a single computer at a time) for a Windows XP product key.

    There is no limit to the number of times where you can reinstall and activate the same license of Windows XP on the same PC.  Is never a charge.  No more than a product key (as long as it is not an evaluation license) never expire.  If it's been more than 120 days you finally turned on this specific product key, you will probably be able to activate via the Internet without problem.  If it was less, you may need to do a five minute phone call.

    Here are the facts relating to activation:

  • Accidentally, I installed my product key for Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Professional. Is there a possible way to activate Windows with this key?

    Activate Windows 7: Home Premium on professional product key - please help!

    Hello world

    I hope you can help me!
    I have a product key for Windows 7 Home Premium. I downloaded it online when I bought it so that I never received a disc to reformat. Someone at work gave me their CD to reformat.
    After you reformat and reinstall ALL my programs, I went to activate Windows 7 again. Guess what? Turns out that I used Windows 7 Professional to reformat.
    Really, I don't want to go through reformatting and reinstalling everything and don't even know if I'll be able to get my hands on a CD to reformat Windows 7 Home Premium.
    Is there anyway can I still activate my product key for Windows 7 Home Premium Windows 7 Professional? In any case I can exchange my Home Premium product key to a professional one? I love how my computer is currently configured and won't do anything else that just activate my legitimate version of Windows 7!
    Thank you all in advance for your time.
    Ramon

    The only way to do it would be to buy a license for Pro-

    Since you have already apparently a licnese to Home Premium, you could buy an upgrade, and then create a repair install with the new key.

    If you bought a full Pro license, you will be able simply to insert your new key and activate that.

    and RockXP: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4138.html which has additional features

    To find out which product keys are used:

    Summary

    If you have multiple Windows licenses and have installed but don't know which one is in use, use the following instructions to double check.

    Details

    Apples of: Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

    User level: beginner to Expert

    If you have multiple PCs in your home or business running different versions of Windows and would like to have on the same version, you can check that you do not use a product key that is already in use. For example, if you bought 3 copies of Windows 7 Professional, installed one, active, but later wanted to update another PC but can't remember which key was used, this trick can be very handy.

    Click Start, type: cmd

    Press enter on your keyboard

    At the command prompt, type the following command:

    slmgr - dli


    Press enter on your keyboard

    A dialogue window will appear on the screen. This will reveal the partial product key which gives an idea of the product key that is in use. Compare with product keys that you have and it will confirm copy of which is in use. When we're done, click OK and close the command prompt window.

    For users of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1:


    Press the Windows key + X

    Click on command prompt

    Alternative means to quickly launch the command prompt quickly on all versions of Windows:

    Press Windows key + R

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    I lost my product key for windows 7 Home premium. Stupidly I did not take off the sticker to put on your computer for the same reason. I installed again but, now, the activation delay is in place and I do not know how to find my key.

    If you bought a computer with Windows preinstalled would a certificate of authenticity (COA) sticker somewhere on your computer. It will say what version of Windows you have and will also have an alphanumeric code at 25 on it - this is your product key. If it is not on your computer look in your documents or on any case of CD/DVD that was included with the computer.
     
    If you purchased Windows 7, it should be included in the retail box.
     
    If you purchased Windows 7 online and downloaded that the key should be sent to you by e-mail.

    need to fine product key for windows 7

    Hello Butterflylove1983,

    Give you specific help, to a more detailed description of the problem and the question you have.

    Some questions that you can answer to help out are:

    1. what version of Windows 7 are you running?
    2 what is an OEM version that came with your computer, or a retail version that you bought?  (or a beta version)
    3. is your enabled copy?
    4. you are trying to locate the key that you used to activate Windows 7? Or you try to get a key, so you can activate Windows 7?

    If you have already activated and used a key, you can download a product such as Belarc Advisor and run it to extract the key.  However, if you have installed Windows 7 and do not use a key, you will need to purchase a license in order to activate it.  This can be done through computer vendors such as newegg.com or amazon.com, or even by the Web sites online.

    If you are looking for a 'free' or 'key to crack', then you come to the wrong place to ask.  Since it is a Microsoft forum, noone in their right mind will tell you where to look for pirated keys or ways around the keys.

    Hope that this help give you to a more detailed explanation of your problem and have a nice day :)
    Patrick.
