Can not activate a restoration of XP Pro preloaded.

Bought this PC IBM Thinkcenter a preload of XP. It has been making slow lately, so I decided to reset to the factory with a complete restoration of the preload on the hard drive. Everthing seems to have worked until activation. Display sits on the activation window, the installation ID returns an error claiming their records say this isn't a valid product. Help. Thank you

I'm afraid you should consider first contacting the manufacturer of your computer using given that your copy of Windows XP is a preloaded copy. You can contact IBM via the link below:

In addition, try to update your product key by downloading the Windows Update tool to solve the problem you have with Windows XP.

Step 1: Download and install the Windows Update tool

Step 2: When you are prompted to run or save the installation program from the Windows product key update tool, click Run. Follow the instructions on the installer.

After that, you will be asked to enter your product key. Enter your product key digital alpha 25 to move forward.

I hope this will help.

  • Can not activate the restore Windows Pro CD to reinstall

    I'm trying to fix a friends computer. It's an Enpower AMD Athlon 64 3200 + 2.01 GHZ, 1 GB RAM, Windows OEM Pro. The hard drive crashed, and they lost all their data. I replaced the HARD drive and am now in the process of re - install the restore CD of Win Pro comes with the computer. Unfortunately, the key ProductID (OCA) outside of the case has partially torn. How can I return this product key?

    I searched through these forums and found a key in the UNATTEND file. File TXT on the CD, but it won't accept it. I also tried suggestion of forums in order to preserve the OEM key and failed also, are there other options to get this key without having to purchase another license?

    I'm afraid you're out of luck.  If the torn label had been noticed before the HD crashed, the existing product key could have been found using a program like Belarc Advisor or the Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder.  However, with the death of HD, it is too late for that now.

  • Can not activate Photoshop on the new MacBook Pro

    Program version: Photoshop Elements 8.

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro today to replace my three year old MacBook. I sold my old MacBook after I backed up on an external hard drive via Time Machine. I used the migration wizard to import everything on my new Macintosh and Photoshop throws an error saying that I can not activate Photoshop because the serial number has been activated more than once (it is also used on my iMac).

    My old MacBook has been reformatted and is no longer with me, so I can't go back and disable that copy of Photoshop (I have eBay documents and emails showing sale and reformatting my old Macintosh for evidence). What should I do? Who should I talk to? I don't want to buy another copy of Photoshop. I use Photoshop for graphics in Web to University development, so I need it up and running!

    Thank you.

  • Windows can not activate at this time, try to activate Windows later.

    I bought my laptop 2 months ago and activated windows when I started it upward. Last week, however, for some unknown reason my laptop won't start properly so I had to do a restore to an earlier date. This good all worked but every time I start up it takes me to the screen of the PC settings and tells me to activate windows. When I click on activate "control key" text flashes for a split second, then disappears, nothing happens and it says above "Windows can not activate at this time, try to activate Windows later. If the problem persists, contact Microsoft and online support to activate Windows. "It is incredibly boring because all the days Windows spends half an hour to start the download of updates only so he can fail and take half an hour to undo the changes." My laptop came with Windows 8, so I have not updated. I know my activation key but have nowhere to enter the PC changes screen. I also tried to run the slmgr.vbs-ipk command prompt - followed my unsuccessful activation key, I get error 0 x 80070426. When I go to the Control Panel, system and security, Center of the action, activation of windows and click on activate since there I get error 0xC0000022

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • NB305-N410BN-G = FN + F8 can not activate 3G / but FN + F8 can activate WIFI

    Hello world

    You also have a problem with the switch of Toshiba FN F8 on Windows 7 Starter x 86 (32 bit). I can turn on and off the transmission of my built-in WIFI, but not my built in 3 G mobile broadband (Sierra Wireless Gobi 2000). It has worked well so far. But then I had to send my Netbook for service because the screen stays black. An external monitor and it worked fine... In any case; They exchanged the motherboard and now LCD is well again. But my 3G connection does not work, because I can not activate the transmission of the antenna.

    Real conditions / situation / comments:
    (1) sierra Wireless Gobi 2000 3 G card is present in Device Manager, it is activated and shown without problems or restrictions.
    (2) I can even test the modem successfully!
    (3) under network connections the Sierra card is present but displayed with a red X. But I can't activate it.
    (4) in addition I can disable there despite the red X already indicated.
    (5) when I run Toshiba Wireless manager shows that the card is present but transmission is switched off. "Please switch on with FN + F8"... arrgh!

    I tried already following as follows:
    (1) all installed available and past Sierra drivers Sierra 3 G driver (v1.1.140; 05/03/2010; 37.58 M)
    (2) because of the BIOS update to the latest version 1.50 = wireless connection switch is activated = and the WIFI worked very well...
    (3) installed last Toshiba Value added Package (v1.3.6; 09/04/2010; 44.36 M)
    (4) installed last Toshiba Flash Cards Support Utility (v1.63.0.5C, 28/12/2009; 9.38 M)
    (5) installed last Toshiba 3 G Connection Manager (v2.1.97, 20/05/2010; 29.28 M)
    (6) perform a restore of the entire system with recovery system (installation of a 1:1 copy of the delivered original from drive C :) partition
    (7) tried another way to complete a new installation of Windows 7 starter x 86 emty C: drive and installed the drivers from the Sierra as well as the added value of Toshiba utility to support package and flash cards
    (8) tried 3rd party software to control the connection 3 G MWCONN (found here: www.MWconn.info)-the config.exe can activate the transmission for a few seconds using the function "device / network analysis / start". This causes the broadband connection blue LED on the fronside of my netbook to be turned on for a few seconds. But üfter the test off again. So I turn on the transmission temporarily but not permanent. AND - THERE IS A MEANS OF TRANSMISSION OF SWITCH ON BY MEANS OF THE SOFTWARE! - But HOW...! ?

    What have I not tried again:
    (1) find someone with the same netbbok NB305-N410BN-G-online exchange the hard drive temporarily to test and market the Sierra 3 G in my netbook. It will be very difficult because I'm sitting in Germany actually...

    !!! Help, please! = does not, or no matter who else had same or similar problem...?

    Thanks in advance for any kind of useful tips and ideas!

  • Can not activate reinstalled Network Magic

    I recently had to replace my hard drive crashed and reinstall all my programs and applications. My computer is Windows XP Pro SP3 installed and I have a copy saved Net magic. Before the crash Net Magic ran fine (as it does on my laptop). But now I can not activate using the activation key. For several days the activation process a 'impossible to activate' - the message fault. The message, which has long been a topic here and elsewhere, is in part, "the attempt to communicate with the license server timed out... "I know that this isn't a problem of a misconfigured firewall because it is not in operation (btw it's Kaspersky 2010) and I also feel the same problem trying to contact the license server on a different computer in a different location.

    So what is the solution? I admit to being a little frustrated that Cisco allows this type of problem to continue. So when the license server is "service?

    I have the same problem so I called Cisco and they said that they have technical problems at the moment. They said that they should all have service again soon.

    Have you turned on the switch on the side of laptops?
    I put t know not which way the switch is present, but check it must be somewhere on the side.
    This switch must be turned on everything first, then you can use the FN + F8 key combination.
