After installation of SP2 my machine requires the reauthorization and revalidation. Does not accept the product key.

I put my machine running windows update last night, he installed SP2 from one day to the next. This morning I met with my usual logon screen. On logging into Vista asked for new authorization, I entered my product key on the back of the windows folder, and it has refused to accept it. I tried to use the phone and he wouldn't give me any group entry by phone number, automatic validation no longer works.

I built this machine myself about 12 months ago and its worked perfectly until now, I bought windows at a reputable dealer and he was completely valid and working ok until this update! Any help would be greatly accepted!

  • Need to create a back-up of installer of windows 7 on my drive flash, but because the site does not accept my product key

    Original title: product key error Windows 7

    Hello!

    I need to clean my office completely. However, I had installed on this PC by a company, with that I can't connect, and the windows Web site does not accept my product key.

    Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

    Step 2: Perform a custom installation, see Windows 7 section of the following article how to perform a custom installation:

    Hello

    Where do you find the product key? I believe that the version on your machine is an evaluation version. As I have mentioned several times, I hate the version installed on my machine. They want to 'milk' of us later. You have 2 options: buy or remove it.

    But if it is the starter version, please ring the Bell of Microsoft, they can fix it for you.

  • My installation of Windows 7 is not accept my product key

    Hello!

    I recently did a full clean and fresh install Windows 7 on my computer, but Activation Wizard is not accept my product key. I bought my copy a few years ago and I had no problem before, it is only now that I have a problem.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    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.
