  • I've upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 last week. I reinstalled Microsoft Office Standard 2007, but the website says that my product key is not valid.

    The software was initially loaded on the computer that has been upgraded.  The upgrade would not work, so the technician needed to install the full version of Windows 7.  When I try to install Office 2007 Standard, the registration Web site says that the product key is not valid. The software can be loaded on three computers (that took place), but a computer is the computer I want to re - install the program on.

  • Re-install Windows 8 pro on PC, how many times before that the product key is not valid?

    Due to problems with Windows Update, and more specifically by using the 8.1 free update, I had some problems and have re-isntalled twice now on this PC.

    You install previous motherboard no re-day after the first installation.

    First install on the replacement motherboard activated via telephone due to the new material.

    2 more reinstall without a phone on the same PC.

    The general consensus is that, once you get to the installation of 5th Activation of the phone is necessary.

    How many times before that the product key is not valid?

    I only ask that the errors are related to data that is not stored on my PC.  and given that Windows 8 is nowhere near the performance and stabilty before I used the App store update I have to reinstall until it's resolved.

    Required to reactivate by phone after the 5th reinstalled only happen based on the license.

    If you make significant changes with a license pre-installed as a motherboard, then you will not be able to use the phone or Internet activation.

  • Windows anytime upgrade, the product key is not valid

    My laptop is with pre installed Windows7 professional edition, and I have a new product key WAU (Home premium-> NEC) in hand. When I tried this product key in the Express Windows upgrade process, I received a message "product key is not valid.

    Is the installed version must be exactly the same with the WAU product key pack? I think of my installed Professional is an advanced version of Home Premium. Why not the product key be compatible?

  • My Halo CE says that my product key is not valid after I have install and update the game.

    I install my copy of Halo CE on my computer. I enter the product key and accept the key. I update my game and everything is still fine then. After that I restarted the game as required, he said that my product key is not valid. I do not understand why he said it. I know that it is valid. I used the said product key to unlock the Halo Reach for this Halo nameplate on the site Web of Bungie. I'm not sure why this is happening. In addition, this product key is not the key supplied with the disc. I lost my old drive and had to borrow one from a friend.
