• Windows 8, asking to activate Windows after HARD SSD migration drive

  I have a laptop Asus Q220e pre-installed with windows 8, and recently, I migrated my HDD to the SSD drive and installed the SSD in the laptop.  The migration went perfectly and the computer works correctly, but when I connect a screen appears that says I must activate windows.  He told one other computer is running my current product key and give me the error code: 0xC004C008. Any suggestions on hw to solve this problem? I have doe something wrong during the migration for the SSD?

  1. press the Windows key + X , and then click run, and then type: slui.exe 4

  2. then press the ENTER"" key.

  3. Select your "country" in the list.

  4. choose the option "activate phone".

  5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

  6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

  Hello world

  The second is a general for the Greece phone number as you have indicated that your country is the Greece. If you dial the number and explain your activation problem and the phone number doesn't work not they may be directly connect you to support or you give a better number to use.

• Help, please! Got an old computer xp, when I turn it on it asks me to activate windows now...

  Please help, I put in the Installation ID over the phone, and it says its not valid.

  I tried to call tech support, but he said the key requested is not valid? I don't know what to do :(
  I got a computer that my sister received a colleague for Christmas. Worked very well, my brother-in-law, messed with it today, replaced the motherboard and now when I turn it on it asks me to "activate Windows".
  I really don't want to have to rebuy Windows...

  Unfortunately, this is probably what you're going to do, buy another copy of Windows (or another computer).  When Windows comes pre-installed on a computer, the Windows installation is allowed on this computer and cannot be moved to another.  In order to have a component to show up and say: "it is the computer that I came!", this component is the motherboard.  Now that yours has been replaced, the Windows license that came with the old motherboard is zero and cannot be used any longer.

• I am running xp pro so why they ask me to activate Windows 7?

  activate windows 7?

  I am running xp pro so why they ask me to activate Windows 7?

  XP has been activated years ago? now, they say both need equipment to enable the garbage.

  There is nothing wrong with your report that I can see - so you should not receive not authentic or notice of activation.

  The notification came at one time and then disappear later?

  If Yes, then it is probably due to a "race condition", where two programs or more are fighting for the possession of a file--in this case, it prevents the system WGA, checking the status of the operating system, resulting in the notification. A plus later re - test then clears the air.

  The addition of SH Devolo may have been the straw that broke the back - is the amount of RAM on the system? XP SP2 requires at least 512 MB for a reasonable speed, so if your system has less, I'd say you are trying to upgrade if possible.

• Pop box on computer asking me to activate windows.

  I have a box come up on my computer asks me to activate windows, I have a copy saved Windows xp already and have done so for 3 years. This is the first time he came, what is a virus or a pirate? It seems that it is from Microsoft but told me to ignore it, it says I have 3 days to activate it.  It is said to reduce software piracy to activate windows now.

  Try to activate again. If the online activation does not work, try the phone activation. If your computer has a sticker of COA above with your key, you can change the Windows key to him.

• I have a windows not valid error. and he asks me to activate windows again.

  * Original title: Troubleshooting

  Running Windows 7, 64 bit on my laptop 1440 dell. ive never changed hardware or software in this laptop. But suddenly I have a windows not valid error.

  and he asks me to activate windows again... they want me to pay for the new license. Ive tried to go through the process and all the scenarios that they want me to buy a new one. Dell does not seem to have an opinion on what to do otherwise than to send me to the activation process. I ran anti virus and anti malware. has no results. Any idea?

  I suggest that you run the diagnostic tool Microsoft Genuine Advantage in normal mode and copy and paste the results into a response for further analysis:

  Run the tool and when it ends, click the copy button, open a text such as Word or Notepad file and select Edit, paste. You can paste directly into an answer here. Open a response, right click and select Paste.

• After discounting lost 8.1 Windows, moreover, Windows 8, asking to activate again.

  Original title: Windows asking to activate again.

  I used windows 8 on my Dell Vostro 2520. A couple of weeks, I've updated to 8.1 and I had no problem with windows 8.1. But since yesterday, I started to get continuous https errors, even to https://google.com the browser said there are certificate errors (my friends using the same wifi network I use had no such problem). Chrome told me that my date is not correct. My calendar showed 10024 year and there was also a warning that the date is out of range. I tried to change the date, but I got the message that it could not be changed. So I decided to restore my windows. I chose the option that keeps your personal files and removes all software. On the update page, it has been shown that "you'll have new update to windows 8.1". But restarting does not help me. I had the same problem of https, also lost 8.1 now my pc is Windows 8. And as he asks me to activate windows... Help me

• Suddenly, I got a pop up screen asking me to "Activate Windows now".

  I had windows 8 for a few years now and it reloaded several times, but all of a sudden I get the same message and it won't take my key I use to install without problems.  I bought the windows 8 pro, so I wouldn't have to load previous versions, all the time.  I called them and they say I have to upgrade to one does not require a previous version.  Is it a kind of prosthesis?  A corrupt or illegal site put a virus on my computer?  What is Microsoft saying that we will not cover this old software more?

• My hard drive has left an old system to a new system and now I can not activate Windows.

  Cannot download the drivers to activate Windows

  I spent two days now trying to get a computer at work, I've built. I use new parts other than my used hard drive previously. I was not able to install the drivers for my network so I'm stuck right with the activation screen when I connect. If I do not activate and then I get kicked out and have to log in again. I cannot connect to the network to turn on obviouly and when I call them they say my ID intillation in does not correct and they don't recognize it as a valid product. I then remove my hard drive and put it back in the old machine and as if by magic, it works fine after activation. How am I supposed to install my drivers so I can activate if I can't go to my screen to install? This is the second time that this happens, and I really not prefer to buy a new windows disk for something that already works.

  activation by telephone (call of the operator)
  Click the Start button
  in the search box, type
  SLUI 4
  and press the Enter key
  Follow the instructions, but when asked what service you need the ansafone phone, don't answer - it should oblige the operator to answer, who can deal with you

  To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool
  (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
  Once saved, run the tool.
  Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
  To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.
