As a result of two orders of product Media Center keys validation problems

10/26-11/16, I installed Windows 8 on four 4 machines.  For two of them, I ordered Media Center product keys.  The first installation (purchase 10/26) went well.  However, the installation of the second (the last purchase) using the second key to MC would not validate.  According to me, that the error message was something already used - or was the wrong computer - or something similar.   Thinking that I used the wrong (i.e., first) key validated using the other key.  After crossing the phone validation steps, I him have finally been validated.   Or so I thought.

Today, I installed a new Wi - Fi adapter (this is an Intel Mobile i7) and low and behold, I received a validation error.  Now I have to either buy a new key or find the proper key.  Unfortunately, I can only find recipes for two other purchases!  I don't know what original product key was for the laptop.

Anyway, is before you buy a new key, to retrieve the info of order based on my account info - since I did not order numbers.  I'd be happy to retrieve the original key (non-MC) and to revert to a non-MC of Windows 8.

Go to the order summary page, you can find your product key:

You can download it from there and use your product key to upgrade:

  • How to order the products differently, in several catalogs

    Can someone help with my problem of customers with products of orders differently when they are in several catalogs? For example, product1 is listed in the catalog and list B. They would like that produces 1 to appear 3rd in the list in the catalog and 10 in the list in the catalog B. I know you can individually weight of a product, but I can't work on how you can make it appear in the desired order in each catalog?

    Thank you.

    Weights are relative, so you need to assign the weightings that run on each catalog. For example, product1 would need a weight that is less than exactly two of the weights produced A catalogue and less than exactly nine weights product catalog B.

    The problem is that you can't have a given set of products vary in the order between the catalogues, such as product1 come before product2 in a catalog and after in another.

  • Did not get the product for Media Center-no code can not process the order

    I asked the promotional offer for Windows 8 Media center, but never received the code.  He said that it takes 72 hours to receive, but it has been good (probably about 2 weeks).  I checked all my email, including spam, and there is no email with the code.  I tried 3 e-mail addresses and now all I get is "cannot process order.

  • units Windows media center update the site saying "We could not process your order."

    I am trying to get a product key for the media center upgrade to windows 8 pro. I have two computers that I have upgraded to Windows 8 pro, so I used two different emails. The first computer I've updated went well, I asked for the key and a few days later he appeared in my Inbox, and I upgraded without problem. I asked a product key for the second computer (with a different email) more than a week and it never came, so I tried again and any email you enter on the site, it says "We could not process your order." Unfortunately, I tried the first product on the second computer key and allowed me to upgrade. The only problem is, I got a screen that says product key is already in use, and now my computer asks me to activate windows all the time. As far as I know, there is no way to fix it without the product key. I can't even return to regular windows 8 pro with a clean install, because I downloaded windows 8 pro without a disk.

  • HP Media Center M7690N: upgrade network adapter Gigabit - what card to replace the product to install

    Hi, this could be a long post for something simple then I apologize in advance.

    I recently updated my cable modem, router wireless at HQ and 150mbps broadband internet services. Came and went with the support technique of ISP and modem manufacturer and max results with speedtest I can get up to 92mbps. Seems that everything goes well on their ends. Not sure, but I suspect the 10/100 network adapter is my limit. So I bought a PCI Gigabit card and now I don't know what location to use. There is a dial-up modem connection in a slot and a wireless local area network (that I don't need) card in another. I thought I'd be able to recognize what PCI slot to use if there is a connector cable ethernet to one of the cards, but no. The ethernet connection is on a frame connected to the motherboard... so I was wondering if someone would have an idea to which PCI slot to swap? The Dial-up modem card or wireless Lan slot? Or is the network card built into the motherboard?

    I learned that the peak of out to something like 130mbps PCI slots so I'm not expecting to get all the way to speed 150mbps broadband, but I would like to get as close as I can. And hope I'm on the right track with change of the network card.

    Last year, I improved the two 1 TB hard drives each in a Raid? stripped configuration, maxed out at 8 GB memory and added new Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. The little girl runs really well. I just wanted to give my trusty HP one more push.

    Any idea would be appreciated... Thank you very much.

    BK-

    I'd rather have an insightful dialogue than to have to ask you some questions.

    You motherboard has 3 PCI slots.   Update external wireless modem does not help you support system that the internal Wi - Fi card does not match his speed, it's an old map of Wireless LAN 802.11 b/g.  The remote access card is actually a 56K bps modem data / fax, useless, unless your in Fax?  According to the HP website, you also have a PCI TV card (you do not have to mention)?

    (1) if the Fax is not used, remove the card. Use this location.

    (2) the old wireless card is now useless.

    (3) be aware you will lose Media Center if you ever upgrade to win 10 and many more.

    Well, you did ask!  Treat the daughter of old nice. You have until 2020 to JanRead this also. Fun.

    What a pleasure - this really makes the license issues a joy.
    If I understand you right, "fried" your old computer was XP Home Edition - and the replacement motherboard came from a machine with MCE?
    If so, then Yes, you must use the MCE license, rather than the home one. To be entirely legal, it must also have the sticker COST MCE glued to the box.
    MCE is XP Pro - which is a reason that you can not change just the product key-based. The other is that the update tool simply is not designed to work with MCE.
    What can you do?
    Unfortunately, there is no way around it, whatever you do will involve a clean install (to backup your data first led outdoors!) If you want to stick with MCE.
     
    (1) you can go to the manufacturer of the MCE machine and ask if they can provide the recovery disc for this machine - if you're lucky, they may still have some in stock. If they are not, try restoredisks.com
    (2) you can take your life in your hands and download a torrent of a set of installation MCE - it's going to be at least two CD there are a couple of "real" out there, who are free of malicious software, but most is contaminated in some way, so be very careful and do due diligence on any download you.
    (3) you can try to find a legitimate MCE pack on sale somewhere - I don't know what it should cost, or that also the prices on them are moving from MS stopped making years and they are like gold dust. (XP Pro prices are rising, but I suspect that MCE prices may be down).
    (4) you can purchase a legal license for XP Edition family - again, be very careful where you buy-it came to a point where there are more counterfeits than legal market. This would allow you to use the update tool to keep your current installation.
     
    Note that there is no such thing as a 'detail' MCE - MCE all licenses are OEM and as such, cannot upgrade a XP Home license, where my earlier warning about backing up your data.

  • Two sessions of Windows Media Player?

    How can I run two sessions of Windows Media Player - one to play a movie, one for playing a playlist of music?

    Hello
     
    You cannot run two instance of Windows Media Player at the same time and this is normal. However, you can run a third-party media player and Windows Media Player, but there will be sound conflict.

    Warning: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Use a third party software is at your own risk.

  • Stop, jump and back orders MCE works only in Windows 7 Media Center

    I have a HTPC home built with card mother Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 with i3-2100 processor, running Windows 7 Edition Home Premium.  I have three different input devices:

    (1) Logitech MK320 keyboard bluetooth and a separate mouse

    (2) distance of keyboard/mouse bluetooth Lenovo N5902

    (3) remote control Logitech Harmony 890 that interacts with the HTPC via an HP MCE IR receiver USB wireless (used for almost 95% of all applications)

    I've been running Windows Media Center (WMC) for 1 year now through the HTPC for LiveTV, music and RecordedTV.  I also use the Netflix plug-in and I have Media Browser (MB) to play all my movies.  Everything worked perfectly and then about 2 months ago, SKIP and REPLAY has stopped working on the Harmony remote.  I did some extensive troubleshooting and found the following:

    (1) if I restart the machine, sometimes the STOP, the SKIP and REPLAY buttons on the harmony and the Lenovo work for awhile, but eventually (maybe 15 to 30 minutes later they will stop working), closure of WMC and restart WMC has no effect.

    (2) when the STOP, JUMP, REPLAY buttons do not work, all other commands still work (PAUSE, PLAY, FFW, REW, REC, EXIT, etc.).

    (3) when the 3 buttons stop working on the harmony they also stop work on the Lenovo, however hit CTRL + B (REPLAY), CTRL + F (SKIP) and CTRL + SHIFT + S (STOP) on the MK320 or Lenovo always correctly executes these commands.  Also, using the mouse and clicking on the STOP, SKIP or REPLAY on the bottom right WMC button is still running these commands.

    Conclusions:

    (1) it is not the USB IR receiver wireless or remote Harmony, because the Lenovo bluetooth also stops working.  Hid drivers for the IR receiver and Bluetooth dongles are all to date.

    (2) the problem lies within Windows.  Maybe the registry?  I have installed and uninstalled several programs on the HTPC.  I used CCleaner and defragmentation of registry without help.  I'm sure that do an install own complete will fix the problem, but I would like to avoid that if possible.

    Someone at - it solution or seen this problem before?  If not, can you at least direct me to key in registry for these 3 actions and what they "should" be?  Maybe I can identify a difference.

    Problem solved!

    Leave it to Apple to mess up your Windows PC!

    I had iTunes running down to the task bar, so I could use the "Remote" app on my iPad and iPhone to listen to music on the HTPC. Well, iTunes was hijacking the STOP, SKIP and orders in MCE REPLAY. Once I closed iTunes, everything worked fine. Freaking products Apple, urghh!

    You will need to know the product key at the very least.  What happened to Windows Media Center?  It is always installed?  If so there may be some recovery options available while it is still on your machine via tools like Belarcc Advusor etc.
