Can I use a license of the retail of Windows XP on an oem computer?

I'm fixing a computer from a friend and I was wondering if it was possible to have it activated and genuine using the license sticker oem with retail disc. I use Windows XP Pro

XP was not manufactured or sold for years and dies completely in April 2014. You can try the manufacturer of PC, but otherwise there is no reliable source I know.

  • Can I activate an installation of the retail of Windows 7 with an OEM key?

    I got a copy of windows 7 Home Edition premium, I had the drive, but he lost and the and Cd - key so installed the ISO on the site, thinking I find the cd and key later. turns out it was lost in my recent move, so I bought a copy of windows 7 Home premium OEM. like I said that installation is disabled the microsoft Web site, so I don't know if it's OEM or retail. I ordered my new copy off newegg and am not sure if it will work. I use my computer now, but I get the saying of the warning I left so many days. The OEM cd - key will work with my installed OS, if its so retail? of course if its OEM, then it will work, but what happens if it's the detail?

    If they are of the same edition, it will work.

    I have a new computer because the old computer was broken. Can I use Lightroom license more far. Or the license needs to be reset?

    The license agreement that you signed up to you to have two machines with enabled facilities.

    The option to turn off depends on which version of Lightroom, it is.  Anything older than that version 6 has no option - simply reinstall and activate if necessary.

  • 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

  • Can we can implement App - V license with the SMB file streaming

    Hello

    We are currently in place a complete infrastructure of App-V 4.6 SP2 in our Organization, and we have all applications stored in a SMB file server. We have two App - V Management servers related to a balancerto load. In addition, we have configured the ApplicationSourceRoot registry key in the machines of Client pointing to the SMB file server. The flow of applications successfully from the SMB file server. So far everything was fine.

    However, when we try to implement the licensing options we see that App - V licenses work with RTSP protocols. In addition, we tried all the best we can, but we could not implement RTSP streaming from a SMB file server.  Protocol of RTSP protocol leader changes: / / with the use of the ApplicationSourceRoot registry key.

    Can anyone suggest a work around for this problem, where we can implement App - V license with the spreading of the SMB file?

    Thank you

    Hello. I use creative cloud on a desktop and laptop. I could buy another computer. Can I add another license to the same account/email address? I don't see a way to do it. This is how I could use licenses on up to 4 devices.

    Thank you

    Hello

    In case you want to use on 4 machines, please purchase a subscription on a different Email address.

    Adobe has moved to based on the identity of license with a technology that will not support multiple licenses and products, you can buy only one membership per Adobe ID. If you need two memberships creative cloud, you can buy each with a unique Adobe ID. You can also buy a creative cloud for membership of the teams, which allows you to buy and manage several places under an own account.

  • How can I use Office Update without the Office CD?

    How can I use Office Update without the Office CD? On the microsoft Web site, I clicked the options which mean that I would not need the CD (which was not provided with the laptop), but poartway through the service pack update, I get a request for the Office 2000 Professional CD.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    Did you mean an office or a note?
    As far as I know the a Note is part of the recovery Image and the CD is not supplied with the unit. In addition, Toshiba units are not delivered with the Office 2000 software.

    However, have you checked to aid either in Word update function?
