Blocked for Windows 8 Pro product key

• Windows XP Pro product key

  I got a laptop for my father and I try to reformat & get going for him. I got an operating system disk Windows XP Pro to the place of the local computer. I am trying to install & using the product key on the bottom of the laptop tells me that the CD key is not valid. The Lady instead of the computer told me that the product key on the bottom of the laptop is what I needed. As I walked she told me that they reformat for $80. So if the product key at the bottom of my laptop does not work, how they will reformat? Something smells like fish on this subject. My question is how can I get a valid product key code?

  This is a question for the people who sold you the XP disc.  Microsoft sells more than XP, and as much as I know they will probably not help with activation.  You might have a chance with the manufacturer of the laptop; they might be able to give (sell) you the installation media that work with the product key on the computer.

• Windows 8 Pro product key does not work

  I get this error message: "this product key has not worked. Please check it and try again"

  
  
  Just bought the Windows 8 Pro in Windows 7 home premium upgrade.  Fresh installed from a USB...

  Got mine sorted... I called customer service... you guys can check it out here for your countries respective http://support.microsoft.com/gp/customer-service-phone-numbers

  So yes... to explain the situation, they will provide you with this diagnostic package... click on the package, reset your comp... and you should be able to activate your shiny new operating system... they were quick to fix my problem... Bravo to them... hope it helps = D

  Method for those who don't want phone customer service:
  Your key is a unique key for update... meaning that it will not allow a new installation... unless you do the workaround of Windows 7 registry.

  You must open a run dialog box and type: "Regedit".

  Then I located this key:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE /.

  And find one called "MediaBootInstall.

  Double-click that and change a 1 to 0.

  Then open cmd as administrator

  Type the command "slmgr /rearm.

  You will get a restart of your computer messge.

  Restart

  Then when you restart your computer, you open a dialog box run again and type "slui.exe 3" and it will allow you to enter your product key and activate :)

• Z50 - 75 - Windows for Windows 10 invalid product key?

  Hello

  I replaced the HARD drive that came with my Lenovo Z50 - 75 with a SDS and took the opportunity to also upgrade to Windows 10.

  I had read in the forum that the Windows key has been incorporated in the BIOS, so I can't needen to worry.

  I wrote it down anyway, just in case, and the first two digits are 00.

  Of course, when installing Windows asked me a few times for the product key, but he managed to jump. However, oe is configured everything, but my Windows is not saved.

  So I went into settings to enter my (old, Windows-8) product key and it is not accepted: apparently, for 10 Windows, the product key may not start with a digit "0".

  Issues related to the:

  (1) is it possible to have Windows 10 get the key from the BIOS (assuming he's there)?

  (2) can / should I enter in manually instead? If so, is there a way to avoid the problem I describe above?

  Thank you.

• Where can I retrieve my key Activation OEM for Windows 8 Pro?

  Hello

  So I decided to solve the annoying problem of partition SSD in my Yoga Ideapad 13 by to pick up a Windows 8 ISO and install it via USB. Unfortunately, I can't find an activation code. Obviously, my computer came with a factory, but once I did a clean wipe of the drive, all of this has been lost. Lenovo has a way to retrieve an activation code to users?

  Thomas

  You shouldn't have an activation code. If you install a simple Windows 8 OS (not Windows 8 Pro), then in the BIOS activation code should be adopted automatically during installation. The key isn't vald for Windows 8 Pro, so if you want to install, then just buy it at Microsoft. Note that it is technically unnecessary to buy a full Windows 8 Pro key, key to upgrade should work just as well if you're ready to do a simple search on Google for a workaround which takes a minute of your time plus a reboot your laptop to achieve more.

• How to downgrade Windows 8 Pro - license keys

  In order to exercise my rights to downgrade to Windows 8 Pro for Windows 7 Pro (or business Vista) I need a valid key of Windows 7 Pro. How can I get this key? When I called support license (number of times) I was told that I should use a key of an existing facility, or buy a new one. I explained that by using an existing key (assuming I had a) would have this key reported by Microsoft as invalid, and that buying a whole new license did not exercise my rights under the terms of the license. Time and time again support teams have been unable to provide a solution to this problem.

  Looking at the document of conditions of licence, it says:
  «Instead of using the Windows Pro 8 software, you can use one of the following versions: Windows 7 Professional or Windows Vista Business.»
  and:
  "The manufacturer or installer, nor Microsoft is obliged to provide older versions to you."
  My interpretation of this is that Microsoft (and the OEM) will grant the rights for the downgrade, but refuses to give the key needed to do.
  How can I get a key to be able to exercise my right of demotion, as stated in the terms of the license?

  Hi James, I have been informed by Microsoft that if you get a copy of Windows 7, even if it has been used or granted to another user you can load this copy and use the product key and then call Microsoft explaining you exercise your right of demotion and they will give you an authorization code for the product key that you give them.

  What I was not able to do is to correctly load Windows 7, my PC comes up with an error. I wish Microsoft or could someone tell me the exact steps like those that Microsoft have highlighted is incorrect!

• The product key you entered will not work with this edition of Windows Vista. You must run the Windows Vista Setup program or enter a Windows Vista business product key

  Product key bad for the wrong version?

  Hello

  Recently the computer in business inherited from a friend, very fast and very good. Regardless of the operating system no - geniue, is with Vista Business, while the thumbnail of authentication is Vista Ultimate. I took a screenshot of what it says when I put Vista Ultimate product key: (it does not appear if you are unable to use it: P)

  http://S13.PostImage.org/57nfn5pqv/vistareg.jpg

  He said: "the product key you entered will not work with this edition of Windows Vista. You must run the Windows Vista Setup program or enter a Windows Vista Business product key."

  How would the installation of Windows Vista? My files would still be there when you need him? My drivers would still exist? No matter what to get deleted or become unusable? He would return to SP1? Any response is welcome.

  You can order form of the manufacturer's recovery media.

  The reason why the system as non-authentique shows currently is using a license in Volume KMS - these licenses must be re-activated at least every 6 months by connecting to the KMS user license activation server.

  It will require a reformat and reinstall whatever you do, unless you can connect to the KMS - Volume media server cannot be upgraded under normal conditions.
