    VISTA ACTIVATION PROBLEM

    EVERY MORNING

    IVE JUST HAD MY LAPTOP REPAIRED AND NOW IM BEING ASKED TO ACTIVATE IT!

    HOWEVER, I CAN'T READ MY STICKER PRODUCT KEY ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LAPTOP

    WHAT CAN I DO?

    Kind regards

    Hello

    I would take it back to the workshop of repair and demand that they fix it properly and send it to you already reactivated.

    It is a way around it, but it's time and and maybe more money:

    As you can not read your product key on the label, we cannot help you get your product key (Key Finder programs will not solve it).

    The way around this is to contact your laptop manufacturer and ask them to send you recovery disks to reinstall the operating system properly. They should send records for a small fee.

    While you are in contact with the Manufaxcturer of the laptop also ask them if there is a way to reinstall the operating system on a recovery partition on the hard drive of your laptop, allowing you to save money.

    Either of these methods of recovery normally does not imply that you have to insert a product key as factory Setup key is automatically used to activate this process.

    My advice, in order of preference:

    1. repair facility

    2. recovery of the process.

    Look on the side/back if a desktop computer; down if a laptop.

    Also look on any packaging the VistaDVD came, if you bought it yourself.

  • Can not verify the product key

    Just bought DSP 64-bit version of Windows 8 for installation on the new PC self-built.

    I go to the step where I enter the activation key when printed on the sticker on the back cardboard provided in DVD.
    I get "we couldn't verify the product key. Please check your installation media. »
    The key was entered CORRECTLY - checked several times.
    VERY frustrating.
    I would like to add that I am a MAC client, set up a PC for some applications in a university here as a research tool and I am very disappointed with this so far. It is absolutely absurd that we find errors like this with such new technology.

  • I can't read the product key on the bottom of the laptop as the sticker is dissipated.

    product key for help

    I bought a mobile phone 2nd hand via personal sales.  The laptop came with Windows Vista home premium installed.  They had erased the hard drive before selling that I expected.  After 3 weeks, I started to have a prompt for assets using a product key.  The sticker on the bottom is quite alert by.  Everything I've read here, says I need a new product key... I do not understand how am I supposed to buy a completely new windows program?

    If there is a sticker on the bottom, it's OEM. One thing to check because it of a laptop, whether or not it has a recovery partition you want to restore from.

    Click Start > right click on computer > manage > in store > disk management

    It can show a recovery/system partition which can be used to update the laptop to the factory settings. If it is there, Google your laptop make/model with 'restore factory settings' and it should tell you how to do (each laptop can be different)

    Hope this helps, if not, you can buy a new copy of selling at retail.

  • I can't read my product key.

    but I have the product number that I can read clearly, but I can't read the product key.

    but I have the product number that I can read clearly, but I can't read the product key.

    Hello

    You mean the product key on the sticker on the case of the Vista operating system pre-installed from Dell, HP, Acer, Toshiba, etc.) ?

    If you do, you can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

  • Reinstalling Windows Vista, but do not have the product key. How can I find?

    Install Vista on two machines
    OK, so one of my friends has Ubunto Linux installed on their system and they want Windows Vista back. I said I would do and use my disks of Vista OS (16 in total).

    Now, the fun is that it doesn't have the product key to its original copy of Vista so how I get it back?

    It had Vista installed on it before Linux, however based on a virus that Vista should be completely removed and Linux has been installed as an operating system that is temporary until we find Vista once again, since I'm the one with the OS disk, then we re-install it.

    So I'll be able to have my copy of Vista on two different computers?

    ALSO: Vista came with the computer when he brought it but no recovery disk (as they did with XP) has been provided.

    Hello

    1 No. you cannot use your product key on his computer and your computer: Installation is permitted with a license.

    And if yours is preinstalled (OEM license), you could not even give it Vista and consider your computer off.

    2. you can't find the product key for the operating systems pre-installed when the product key on the sticker is missing or lost; read this Information:

    The way around this is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send recovery discs to reinstall the operating system properly. They should send records for a small fee.

    While they are in contact with the Manufaxcturer of the computer also ask them if there is a way to reinstall the operating system on a recovery partition on the hard drive of your laptop, allowing them to save money.

    It does not work because you have an OEM license, which means you need to call Dell for support. After 15 months that Dell could not even provide free assistance.

    Hello

    If you are unable to retrieve the product key provided with the system then Windows communicate with the system
    Maker.

    Look at the lower/rear part computer and tape or disks that came with the unit.

    If the system is still running, you can use these to access your product key. These are not cracks, they
    only retrieve your existing key.

    One of them allows to recover your machine if possible.

  • MS Office does not accept the product key and does not leave my type anything on Word documents

    I have windows 2007 edition vista Home premium and I neglected to enter my product key every time I opened a word document. I discovered that after 25 hours of opening ms Office it will not let type you anything on the document. I entered the 25-digit product key, that she had asked because I found on the label on the back of my lap top and every time I entered the code, he said that it was not valid. I double checked to make sure that I typed the numbers in the right order several times and it still does not accept it! I'm in the product key? I also tried the product ID and that no longer works. Help, please! Thank you!
