I have windows vista 64-bit. I installed 2 or 3 years ago and wanted to reformat because I bought a few new parts. So I reformatted and reinstalled windows, but it's now, it tells me that my key is invalid for activation. Is my drive that I bought and it worked before, why now it does not work after reformatting?

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.

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.
Use the phone activation option and speak to an operator.

Can I reinstall Windows vista 64 bit with a product key.
Original title: Switch system
I have a 64-bit Windows license and the product code on my computer. Caused by a virus I took it to a repair store. Back in the Properties section it now shows as a 32-bit system and is included in the new product code the letters OEM. Can I reinstall the original 64 bit system using the product code? If I do I risk reinfecting my system with the virus? It is common for repair shops to install another operating system?

Product key is not valid after the relocation because of the virus
My netbook has a virus and I need to reinstall my windows xp.unfortunately my sticker is no longer legible, so I can't access my product key. One of my reinstallation cd told me that my product key is not valid... What do I do... i tried to call the phone numbers given on the Web site, but no one answers me.
Help!
Hi el_gwapa,
If you use a relocation of the disc from the manufacturer of the computer, then you may need to contact the manufacturer and see if you can get a product key.
Also check the following links to get a new product key for Microsoft:
