After upgrades of hardware, XP says that this copy of windows is not activated

When I start the computer, I get a message that says that the product is not registered.  I have had several problems with my computer and required updates of many facilities.  I have the disk of windows XP Professional with the product key.  When I try to activate the product, it is said that his already in service.  It does not need to activate the product when you go to the System Tools menu by following the instructions.  This can be corrected?

Hello

Use the telephone activation method. See in the system of Windows XP hgelp or here:

  • I have a message in the lower corner of my screen saying that my copy of windows is not genuine.

    * Original title: product key issue

    I have received a more laptop from a friend and wanted to return to factory settings, because he didn't have the necessary disks, I contacted officials of the laptop with the brand and the model that took place in the origin of vista.  They sent me back discs for windows 7 with a product key, but when I installed it I learned the product key is temporary and would not work. Because the laptop is older, the product key on the back of the laptop is now unreadable.  I now have a message in the lower corner of my screen saying that my copy of windows is not genuine.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

    S.Erskine

    If it's a temporary product key, your only option is to buy a genuine full license.

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

  • My Windows 7 is now saying that my copy of Windows is not genuine.

    I bought Windows 7 at Newegg in May.  I woke up this morning and found that my computer was restarted.  Not much, I assumed that he had executed the updates.  During his connection, I get a message that this copy of windows is not genuine.

    I followed the guests, download the WindowsActivationUpdate.exe and he said validation failed and directs me to purchase a Windows license

    Were there an update which pushed the Windows validation?  Is there a solution? I'm not spending $100 + to re-enable some thing that I've already spent $100 + on 3 months ago

    original title: this copy of Windows is not genuine

    Based on the report you posted, you have a genuine copy of Windows 7 Home Premium.

    The reason why we get such message is because your copy of Windows 7 has not been activated. For activate us your copy, please click on start, then on the search box, type in 'enable '.

    After that please choose activate using phone. If in case you would not be able to see such option and then online activation test if it fails, it would display activate using phone.

    Then, please select the country you are in and then please contact Microsoft by CAT and then enter them Installation ID.

  • "This copy of Windows is not activated?

    Our office has crashed to? virus? Back at the plant level. Desktop did not come with a recovery for XP Professional disk. Recovery disc of "Notebook", then was able to install XP w/Service Pack 2, I had previously bought from Best Buy. System would not accept the 'code' of XP discs, so I had to use the 'code' on the desktop (Code belonged to the XP Professional)

    Thought everything was OK until the next day received a notification "this copy of Windows is not activated. In order to hold an appropriate license, this copy of Windows must be enabled.
    Whatever that means & what is my next step? I looked in the "Add/Remove Programs" to see if both XP & XP Professional installed and cannot see each other.  But I see "2007 Microsoft Office System" that I had downloaded as an "advantage" of my work: Paychex, Inc..

  • My old PC of eight year THAT XP came with the message that says that my copy of Windows must be activated.

    My system is 8 years old XP. I installed all the updates that are offered by Microsoft. No new material has been added since more than a year. I now get a message telling me that my copy of Windows must be activated. This happens in normal Mode and safe mode with networking. Is this a ransom trojan or MS did wobbly in the updates as Genuine MS debacle (DIS) advantages of the other? The Messages I have 3 days where activation!

    Your tips for solving this would be appreciated.

    Dear Noel

    Thanks a lot for your information and advice.

    Ironically, I did not clean ups for fear of screwing it up.  However, I just bought a helmet camera and plugged into the USB to test its audio and video capabilities.  Perhaps that may be the problem.  Next time I'll just use the SD card reader.

    I right click on the Hydroforme icon which has been remember to activate.  Who took me through various routines that finally pointed out that the version of Windows I have is no longer for sale.  He then offered to sell me a current equivalent of Windows 7.  Unwilling to part with the money right away, I did a reboot and followed by the option activate who came.  It's very simple and work very well without fees.

    So, I'm now a "happy bunny".  Thanks a lot for your quick help.  Very much appreciated.
