• Can I use the existing Windows vista ultimate 32-bit (real) key to do a fresh install (due to errors of unrecognized class) win vista home premium 32 bit (original cd)?

  Inspiron Dell 1720 2.2 GHz, 2 GB ram, Win Vista ultimate SP2.

  Cannot install all programs currently due to errors of windows install. I have tried scannow in cmd which seems to close automatically in less than a second to click on enter.
  I tried switching win installer services then in manual and automatic ('start' ed) with no ruling change ever to the problem. So now since I can't possibly find another solution, I'm doing a new installation of windows vista Home premium 32-bit which I did not have the keys. So the query. I would appreciate any comment how to solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

  Look at the product key shown on the label on the computer.  Which edition of Windows is on the label?  If the label says Home Premium Home Premium dvd is likely a recovery disk only.  So if there is a recovery disk, so it can reinstall a new copy of Home Premium and all reset the status of the plant.  You will lose your programs and data.

  If the Premium family edition dvd is a dvd retail then you may be able to do a repair on-site modernization (aka ' install fix') of Vista Ultimate with it, but please answer these questions first.

• Can I use an existing Windows 7 Professional Upgrade DVD for Windows 7 Professional upgrade using the keys I bought instead of loading down?

  I've updated three of my computers from Windows XP Professional for Window 7 Professional using kits of DVD I bought. I have three sets of Window 7 professional DVD in my possession. I bought a new license [facility provided by Microsoft key] for my ThinkPad. I ordered also accompanying the DVD, which I imagine will happen next week. Rather than wait for the DVD, can I use one of my existing 32 Bit Windows DVD for installation to upgrade with the new license key that I got from Microsoft?

  No problem - but you might want to wait, if your existing DVD is the original version, because a new will have SP1 integrated, so it'll even some hassles :)

• Can I use my Windows OEM product key on more than pc?

  Windows 7 OEM on two computers

  Hi, I recently built a computer and I bought a copy of windows 7 64 bit OEM OEM. I use it of course on the new computer, but I have a desktop HP with Windows 7 64 bit OEM on it too, I need to reinstall windows on the HP and I was wondering if I could use the HP OEM code, but the drive I bought for the other computer to reinstall. Thank you.

  If the drive OEM from Microsoft is the same version as the key product you already have - Yes, you can use the other installation disk to reinstall Windows (example: the drive and the key must be Windows 7 Home Premium).

  Note 1: You can only use the OEM key on a single computer, OEM can not be moved to another computer. You must use the key to your HP computer on this computer.

  Note 2: You cannot use an OEM recovery disk that came with another computer to reinstall Windows - OEM recovery disks are only valid with the computer, with which he came.

  Case of failure of the online activation:

  Call Microsoft use the manual phone Activation

  Note: If you always install Windows page enter your product key, do not enter your key and uncheck the "Automatically activate when online" then click OK/next to complete the installation.

  1. start by clicking on the start menu, and then type: slui.exe 4

  2. press enter on your keyboard

  3. Select your country.

  4 Select the telephone activation option, enter the number, do not select all options and wait for a person pick up, then explain what happened.

  HP also has several options to reinstall Windows on their computer:

  HP - create a set of recovery disks operating system:

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?objectID=c01895783#WhenCreate

  HP - restore the PC to its original state with the recovery disks:

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?objectID=c01895783#RestoreWithDiscs

  HP - restore the PC to its state of origin using the F11 key:

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?objectID=c01895783#RestoreWithoutWindows

  HP - order of the recovery disc for Windows 7

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?objectID=c00810334

  When restore you to factory State, it will be like it was when you bought first - all preinstalled programs will be installed. Everything you have installed after purchase needs to be reinstalled. This removes all the personal files on the computer, save them first.

• Satellite L40: Can I use Toshiba DVD to install Vista on a new HARD drive

  Hi people,

  I'm new to this forum... I don't know that there, can someone advise me.
  I replace my Satellite L40 HDD with a bigger drive, the current is only 80Gig.

  And my question is, can I use my Toshiba recovery Disc to reinstall Vista on the new HARD drive, or is it a hidden partition on the original HARD drive?
  If someone has done this, would appreciate an idiots guide to doing the same thing.

  Cheerzzzzzzzzzzz...

  Dave

  Of course you can do it.
  The DVD of Vista recovery Toshiba help you install Vista, all the drivers Toshiba and tools, and it automatically creates all the partitions.

  So what you have to do is to boot from the recovery DVD and follow the instructions on-screen ;)

• I bought a windows DW product code, can I use it for DW to run on my new MBP?

  DW bought a year ago and have a product code. I have now a new MBP. Can I use this code for instal DW on my mac?

  Sorry, this is version 4 or earlier than the creative cloud.

  Adobe used to allow a single platform exchange for a same license, but it's only for the current version at the time of the Exchange. When CS6 came out back in 2012, CS5 fell from the swap of platform availability list. Who could actually, fell off the list by year or earlier with the output of the CS5.5 as a stand-alone version.

  You can install Windows on your Mac and run it from there, but I heard some problems late in the program when you do it in analogies.

• How can I use my HP OEM W98 cd "System Recovery" on a new processor & hardrive (not HP) so that I can have W98 to use my most later bought XP Pro upgrade cd?

  I bought a HP with W98 OEM desktop computer installed about 10 years ago. Then about 5 years ago my company offers an XP Pro upgrade for a good price. When I upgraded, first of all, I reformatted the drive, but then XP would be not be installed because it could not find existing W98.  So I reinstalled W98 using the HP cd "HP System Recovery" & "HP Application Recovery", then with the XP Pro upgrade.  Question: I want to build a new computer for faster components (case, CPU, motherboard, hard drive) 10 years old HP processor is suffocating under the weight of applications & today virus scanners.  On a new cpu & hard drive, I can use the "HP System Recovery' (&"Application recovery"if necessary) to repeat the process to get W98 installation so that I can then proceed to Windows XP Pro?  Or is the only "HP System Recovery" will install on a card mother HP and W98 vintage cpu?  I just can't justify rebuying the entire operating system again and I like XP Pro, but I need new hardware CPU and more/more fast disk drive.

  Hi BuyOnceUpgradeOften,

  Thanks for posting. As you said, you will need to install the 98 upgrade for XP. As for the installation of 98 on another machine, it may or may not work. You will need to contact HP and see if this is or is not against the terms of the EULA, they you provided, and if you can or can not install it on another machine.

• can I use another computer oem license?

  reactivation of Windows xp

  My question is this.

  I have a laptop (second user) but the original xp excavation has been erased.

  the only copy of xp I have is an oem (perchased with another computer that is now irreparably) version Derrick has not been used for a couple of year.

  I would like to know if I can successfully (and legally) install this copy of xp on my laptop (which also has a key product mounted below, which probably corresponds to the operating system that was previously in this topic.

  any help would be appreciated.

  @ Noel D Paton, thanks for this tip, I'm going to follow this line of inquiry, although to get a disc of oem System Builder or a spare copy of xp retail can be a little difficult.

• Can I use DBMS_SQLTUNE without OEM?

  Hi all

  I want to use the DBMS_SQLTUNE package without using OEM. I have to run installation script or something like that to use the DBMS_SQLTUNE package?

  I read the link, but it is not written.

  https://Oracle-base.com/articles/11g/real-time-SQL-monitoring-11gr1

  Oracle Database 11 g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64 bit Production

  PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production

  Start

  DBMS_SQLTUNE. () REPORT_SQL_MONITOR

  sql_id = > "526mvccm5nfy4"

  report_level = > "TYPICAL."

  Type = > 'TEXT');

  end;

  PLS-00221: 'REPORT_SQL_MONITOR' is not a procedure or is not defined

  For example, my second question is when I change TYPE = "HTML" how to get to the HTML page? How can I learn is where?

  Thanks for your help.

  DBMS_SQLTUNE. REPORT_SQL_MONITOR is a function, so we can't call it as you would a procedure. The best way to demonstrate this would be to select the double.

  SELECT DBMS_SQLTUNE. () REPORT_SQL_MONITOR

  sql_id-online "526mvccm5nfy4."

  report_level-online "TYPICAL."

  report type-online 'TEXT')

  FROM DUAL;

  Change the type to "HTML" just means the resulting string is the HTML for the report, you can copy and paste this into a file to be opened.
