• Can not activate win 8 error "the key provided is not for this edition of windows, use either windows 8 setup or enter an activation key for windows 8.

  OT: Cannot activate win 8 on my laptop due to the change of hard disk.

  Hi all

  I have a Samsung np550p5c-s05in and it came installed with 64-bit Windows 8, later, the hard drive developed a few problems and as I had guaranteed him, they were replaced by a new, but this one came with a victory 8 32-bit that is not enabled. Now, I got the product key of victory last 8 I had so I tried using them to activate, but an error came that said something like

  "The key provided is not for this edition of windows,

  Use the installer of windows 8 or enter an activation key 8 windows. »

  So it was logical that the key I had was for a 64-bit win 8, so I installed win 8 64 bits of an image file and then I repeated the same procedure to enter the key and the same error came once again.

  I would ask so you people to please help me with this, because I have no idea whatsoever what to do next.

  Thanks in advance,

  All laptops with preinstalled Windows 8.1 are OEM version of the product that are modified by computer makers. You cannot activate a product of retail of Windows 8 with an OEM key.

  When get you the computer from the computer. I suggest that you create a recovery disk to help you in the future.

• I can't activate a VM XP, I have a VLK license but the machine has been built with an oem license.

  I can not activate a virtual XP machine.  the virtual machine is a clone of a pc that has since been erased.  the original machine was probably activated with an OEM key.  I tried activating by phone and putting our license key of Volume without success.

  I would be grateful for any suggestion.

  Thank you very much

  Heh!

  The key to the report is an OEM_SLP key, rather than a Volume key-

  The key of COA_SLP supplied with the original computer cannot be used to enable this virtual machine either, because he reuires to use on the original material.

  You can not use a license upgrade for the virtual machine, because there is no base license - so you are limited by the terms of the Windows license using a retail for Pro license, and then upgrade which (if necessary).

  The key here is most likely another valid - but installation is almost certainly classified as non-authentique, due to the presence of the multitude of the OEM.s in the BIOS - unless you use XP Mode in a Win7 machine
