Activation XP Professional - said problems it is activated on another computer

I had to format my HD and now I can not activate XP Professional, it does not generate a new key. I have the original key, but says that it is activated on another computer. I am the owner of the original CD and you have not installed in another computer, what can I do? its very frustrating not to do a sort of live customer service, only automated services that loop you arround!

Hello

I would ask you to contact support to activate phone and check.

  • Windows Partition deleted w/Win7 - Win7 are now activated on another computer?

    I have a full commercial copy of Windows 7 Home Premium, which was installed on a partition on a laptop, I have used for several years.

    After the upgrade to Win10 end of last year, the Windows partition has started having so many problems that I've regressed to Win7 (using the tool provided with Win10). But once this has been done, the restored Win7 installation was so bollixed upwards it would not not even start with reliability. So (not needing more) I just reformat the Windows partition and put something on it.

    Now, I want to sell my Windows 7 installation media and key. I have questions about the following:

    1. because I didn't have the ability to disable Win7 on the old computer, will he be able to be installed on a new? Or is the key now considered "in use" until I got disabling?

    2. If the key is still considered as being used, how do I get the key made usable again?

    Thank you!

    Since you have a "Full" version of the retail sale, you should be able to all re - install Windows 7 and activate by simply entering your product key.  In the case you don't need to activate by phone...

  • Windows Vista activation problem, error: product key is already in use on another computer.

    Original title: activation problems.

    After installing Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit on my laptop, he asks now the product key to activate windows.  He won't accept him, indicating that the product key is already used on another computer.  It is not the case! What can I do?

    Hello les1helen,

    If you get a message that the product key is already in use then the next step is to use telephone activation. See this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

    I have xp installed on a pc that is currently being discarded. How xp can be disabled so that it could be reused and activated in another machine?

    There is no process to 'disable '. If you have a retail version, you should be able to re - install without problem. If it is an oem version, what you are proposing to do would be not legal.

  • Windows XP SP3 Professional Edition problems with the Live Essentials tried almost EVERYTHING please help...

    I am running Windows XP Professional Edition and have tried almost way possible from almost all of the codes, so that it can install. He always tells me a different code almost as something it must not 'dismantling' MSE. I am not certified has + by all means! But I do not know when you searched for sites Microsoft etc., you are looking for better & learn yourself. But I'm at the point where I say "I wanted I had saved the old Version of the WLE who worked great." Just to give you a clue, which hopefully will help me can govern this list I've done on:

    1. search and read questions from other people who were identical and followed step by step, when I received him seemed to be more common error Code. He said to download update Windows Cleanup Utility and remove everything said Microsoft Live in there. I did this and it just via a different error Code

    2 I tried to download directly the WLE "integer" and install it

    3 I am the admin. and always "Ran under" admin

    4 I watched the system requirements & everything I had was compatible, even if I n "t SQL, but went and downloaded and installed, it

    5 I ran in safe mode, and keep in mind that I do every time a cleaning in the place where there is no trace of even the new WLE Installer, b/c I read learned that you cannot leave this trace.

    6 and to be honest, I do all this work b/c I think WLE possesses one of the in my opinion, best photo library it y a. quick, simple, but still has all of the improvements that I use direct mail and really liked the MS Outlook 07 connector is what I have right now.

    7 I've never seen a free software that is so sensitive that it need to go through all these steps

    -Thoughts on any other reasons to help, I would take even the older edition if I could find it, but as soon as I eliminated and did a cleanup & reinstall my hard drive, it hit me. I forgot to record the show and then, think it is free I'll get it online but it has been updated and I need help which is much smarter than me, I will not STOP until I know what and why. BTW, it is not a problem with a firewall or anything b/c I disabled Norton and am MSE tent which was / is child's play, it's not dirty space, but it does the job and it's great and that's why I want the photo gallery for the least and Sync Mail to Outlook.  As I have said that I have nothing else, I know to do, I even tried on another computer running the exact same OPS than mine. And it's the same way. ??? Please help me to get someone...

    Thank you very much in advance for any help other than that described previously, or if someone from Microsoft could remotely help me if it is possible.

    Hmm. check that you can start the Windows Installer service and it is enabled.

    1. Click Start > run...
    2. Type cmd /K net start MSIServer
    3. Press enter and monitor messages in the window of the console open.

    If the service is started successfully, then download the offline version of the WLE from here and try to install it. Select all items to install because they are dependent on each other.
    Download the new log file, if it fails to install again.

  • activate, already activated on another machine

    I had Vista Ultimate installed craftsmanship home machine, then I bought Windows 7 Pro and installed on the same machine, so I have Vista Ultimate on nothing, and then decided to install the ultimate to my laptop at home which had Vista Home. allow me to turn on the laptop, said already active on another machine, BTW this is Vista OEM

    If the Ultimate license is OEM, you can not transfer it.

    The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
    You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

    If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
    But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.
