Can't activate windows xp pro after re install

I tried again to install windows xp professional on 7 laptops and none of them will be activated. They are in a school and have a volume of education license. I went through activating by phone and it says can not activate. I then spoke to someone at this number who said I had to pay $110 plus tax to fix the problem. I'm at a complete loss as to why they don't will not activate if I have a valid volume license.

Hello

I looked towards the top of the Volume License product key, and I don't see anything extraordinary.  The key is blocked Activation but it is normal that the key to Volume license older XP given that these license keys of Volume more circumvented the need to activate.

Microsoft has created new Volume license key when it was found that Activation Bypass Volume keys (time when the internet became big) are so easy to hack someone leaking just the key to the internet. However, as far as I understand it, the older keys are still valid as long as they were not sunk or abused. I searched the internet for this key and the key does not seem to have been disclosed.

As for the message 'not installed Validation control' Windows XP came not with the genuine Validation feature "baked in" at the launch.  The Genuine Advantage Notification update adds Validation controls to XP (user does not have to install the update, it's purely optional).  The user can also simply go to http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate , the user will be prompted to install the Validation controls and then the online Validation will take place.

At this point I see nothing suspicious on the Volume of this user license key, and also long as on-line Validation returns as authentic, I believe that the key is valid and authentic.

Thank you

  • Need help, can't activate Windows 8 Pro on HP 3125

    I got a netbook HP 3125 which has an AMD E2 APU, 4 GB ram, 320 HARD and Windows 8 Pro disc and would use for about a month and well. Recently, I decided to update my ram and anything by doing this, I also decided to upgrade to an SSD HARD drive.

    I changed the HARD drive out and installed the SSD, but the BIOS doesn't detect so I disabled the Secure Boot, boot enable Legacy and then proceed to installing a custom installation of Windows 8 Pro using a USB key.

    After installation, it asked me a product key, which I find it weird because Windows 8 does not come with product key labels, since it is built into the bios.

    My problem is, how do I activate my Windows 8 Pro, when it keeps asking me for a product key that I don't have?

    Also, I noticed in the BIOS, it is sometimes called 'Key to load HP factory default', but I can only do this when secure startup is enabled.

    Embedded product key Windows 8 has something to do with the secure boot, for example, if the Secure Boot is disabled, then Windows 8 will not activate?

    Thank you

    Woot! I got it to work!

    Secure boot has nothing to do with the activation of Windows 8 or not with the COA embedded (product key) which is in the bios.

    Here's what I did, just note that this method may not be appropriate measures, but it still works. And different systems configurations, may require different or additional measures. Also, this method may or may not work with all systems.

    for example, the brand or the system you may or may not work with the steps posted in this thread.

    If you have a Windows 8 with a product key that is located on a sticky label, this does not apply to you. It's only for those who have purchased a brand name with Windows 8 system, and it does not come with a sticker product key.

    You can either enable or disable Secure Boot in the bios, as it has no effect on the question of whether or not the operating system will boot. I tried the two enable Secure Boot and disabled, the two parameters allows me the startup of the operating system.

    As Intel 330 SSD, I got two of them and both have no problem running Windows 7 or Windows 8.

    ACHI is necessary if you want to enable TRIM that optimized the SSD automatically when you have to.

    If the TRIM does not work, then it must rely on a Garbage Collection.

    To turn off the SSD on Windows 7, schedule defrag because this will reduce the life expectancy of the SSD

    Windows 8 should because it will recognize if it of a SSD or not. If this is the case, then it will send the TRIM command.

  • How can I activate Adobe Reader Pro after I bought it?

    I recently downloaded Adobe Reader and I needed to edit the text in a PDF document under Tools, edit pdf, there is a prompt that displays "Upgrade to Pro" to edit PDFS. He pushed me to this home page: Subscription Options | Adobe Acrobat Pro and I put in my information billing and subscribed membership. I find nothing in the dashboard of the UI which indicate a serial number or account number, that I need to put in my Adobe Reader Office to improve it and unlock this feature and I can't seem to find any connection on the system of preferences in the desktop application. How to translate the upgrade on the desktop?

    Thank you!

    Adelle

    Unlike some of the other subscriptions, this is not unlock Adobe Reader. On the contrary, it is a completely new product and separate, you need to download and install. Then, you will have BOTH and can run that you want to use - do not rely on double click on a PDF file more.

  • Cannot activate Windows 8 Pro error message slui.exe 0x2a 0xd0000010.

    Original title: slui.exe 0x2a 0xd0000010

    Try activating windows 8 pro after buying the upgrade through MS online.  Initially it was working fine, then I was invited to return my today activation code that I did, now it will not activate.  What's weird is, if I go to the system properties, it is said not activated, I click to view details, and then it tells me that it is enabled.


    I feel like it's not, I can not download applications or run updates to add features to windows
    I tried slui 3 to activate as well as run CMD slmgr.vbs - ato which still registers an error (same error that States submit).

    I did a refresh with tech windows on the line to restore windows again, but that has not solved the problem.  I couldn't finish cause lack of time with MS.


    Anyone run into something like this before?  The upgrade has been run from Windows 7.
    Thank you.

    Sorry I didn't answer, I just got power after the hurricane!  After that the PC would start again, he finally had the status of active.  I'm not sure what he did, but at least it works now.  All thanks for the reply.

    Hello

    Check your level of service current pack...

    • Hold down the Windows (between Ctrl and Alt) key and press Pause break
    • Examine what is listed in the system: section

    If there is no service pack designated first level you must download SP2 from...

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=28

    .. .and then run the downloaded program to install SP2.

    Once you have done this, or if you were already in service pack 1, 1a or 2, then install SP3 by downloading and running from...

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=24

    For both of the above, you can ignore the text that says it's for network installations and also ignore the text advising windows/microsoft update if a single update of a PC.

    So try and get up-to-date with the Windows updates.
