Can I use a copy of Vista Business downloaded from the MSDN site and enable it with the KEY on the PC?

I have a DELL and you want to reformat the PC of a friend.  It has a valid license for VISTA Business.  They have lost the CD.  Can I use a version downloaded from the MSDN site and enable it with the KEY on the PC, which is legal, it is going to work?

Original title: reformat Dell

Contact MSDN: 800-759-5474

They should be able to answer your legal question and the key will work.

    Upgrade/license transfer

    I have purchase Windows 7 business plan and upgrade my Vista Business retail version to Windows 7 Pro.  Can I use my copy of Vista Business upgrade retail a computer with Windows XP Pro?

    If you use the license professional Vista as the operating system with a Windows 7 Pro upgrade license then no, you can't continue with Business.

    If you use a copy of the licence of right (standard retail) Windows 7 Pro then Yes, you can reuse the company to upgrade XP.

    Upgrade license replaces the license qualify you for the upgrade license.  That's why the price is reduced from the price of a copy of the full license.  In this case, a license of Windows 7 Upgrade binding Vista Business license to the Windows 7 Pro license and operating permits would be free not to use it elsewhere.

    How install Windows 7 Pro has no importance.  If you use an installation upgrade or new installation method, what matters is the license of Windows 7, to level or standard (full).

    Buy a copy of the full license of Windows 7 Pro to do what you are suggesting.

  • Using Acrobat Pro of XI - form downloaded from the State Office is the filling of cells from a different cell randomly

    I use Acrobat Pro XI - form downloaded from the State Office is the filling of cells to fill with another cell, and the news does not go to the correct cell. That is my family name of Page 1 is filling in another area more later in the application on page 17, where I'm supposed to add an account number. The fields are related so I if I change one, they both change. What is happening about 20 + different cells with different texts / information. Any ideas on how I can break the link between information in cells? Thank you

    They threw the form creation process. Probably copied and pasted the form fields without renaming, obliging to have identical values.

    Report this problem to them and request a corrected version of the file. If you have Acrobat you can rename the fields yourself (if the file is not secure).

    I want to try Windows ReadyBoost.  The computer I have is a used laptop running Windows Vista Business.  Applications of Web site it should be preinstalled, but this isn't, probably because it is a refurbished computer.  Is it possible that I have download or get anywhere else?

    Hi Serendipitocity,

    If it's a ReadyBoostdrive compatible, Vista it detects and displays a prompt asking what you would do with this drive.
    The ReadyBoost service is started automatically. If you stop or disable, this Vista service will not ask whether or not you want to use this drive to speed up your computer with ReadyBoost.  If this happens to you, follow these steps to activate and start the ReadyBoost service.

    1. Click the Start button.
    2. In the search box on the Start button, type services.msc and press the Enter key.
    3. When the user access control application if you would like to continue, or provide the credentials of the administrator account to do this.
    4. Scroll down and double-click the ReadyBoost service.
      1. Change the Startup Type from the drop down menu to automatically.
      2. Then press the Start button to start the service.
      3. Press the OK button.
      4. Now, close the Services console.

    The ReadyBoost service should now be started, and if you reinsert the flash drive it invites you to use the drive for ReadyBoost.

    If this isn't the case, then go to the event viewer and see if there are errors in the system or application logs.

    You can also use the article here and the section if ReadyBoost is working or not.

    Please answer and give an update on if ReadyBoost is working for you.

  • Reuse an old copy of Vista Business 32-bit

    Hello

    I have a copy of Vista Business 32 bit that I bought so at College and I wanted to install it on a laptop more old that I have (just something to have on the laptop to make it usable until I can buy a copy of Windows 7). I went through the installation process and when I was asked to validate the key on the DVD that I got a "the code you entered is in use, please type a different code" or something of the sort. At this point, I remembered that I used the DVD a few years trying to fix a computer for my mother. This computer has since surpassed this world. My question is this: is there a way to get that code off or released so that I can use it on another computer. I have the original disk and COA code for the disk. I just don't remember if it was a one time use or not and if it's possible. Otherwise it's not a big deal, as I said I am decided on buying a copy of 7, just do not know when, was just a shot in the water the hopes that I could reuse the old code.

    As long as the code is not still active elsewhere, you are free to use forever once again, on any computer (one at a time).

    To reset the number of activations, just call the number 1-800 that shows on this error message.  Tell the operator and they will reset the meter and it let you to install again.

    I can't use Roboform with 4.0 beta 10, so I can't use Firefox. How to get back to the beta version 9?

    I think that there is a little more for it, but here's a solution that seems to work. After the installation of Roboform 7.1.7, go to: http://www.roboform.com/platforms/browsers/firefox and scroll down to a table listing the three browsers identifying the XPI file to load if it was not loaded automatically. Click the http://www.roboform.com/dist/roboform-firefox-3-4-frozen.xpilink. Firefox will ask you if you want to allow this should be installed. Let him. Finish installation, restart Firefox 4.0b10, and you'll see a Roboform 7.1.7 toolbar works. I did it on two computers, and everything seems to work.
