  The OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) license is for the computer. If the computer is sold to another user, then the license is valid for the new user. The former user is no longer the owner of the license.

  Your problem is that, for some reason, the system is unable to properly read the table SLIC in BIOS, what is required in order to triggered the key OEM_SLP with which the computer came installed.

  The normal solution is to change the key for that on your COA sticker - but you say that you are unable to read the key here.

  In such circumstances, are the only things you can do

  (1) Re-create the license store - in which case it's a minor software problem causing the is

  2) try to update BIOS to the latest available Vista compatible one, since the manufacturer's website

  (3) contact the manufacturer and see if they can provide assistance to correct the SLIC table

  (4) a reformat and reinstall using the manufacturer's recovery media

  (5) purchase of a new license for Windows (or a new computer)

  It * may * be an alternative solution, if you are patient and persistent.

  Attempt to activate by phone and speak to an operator - they will tell you that your current key is locked (they then seek confirmation of your product key). Explain your problem, you must change the key of your sticker, but the thumbnail is unreadable (they could please provide a replacement key?). If all goes well, they will request documentary proof of the sticker, in the form of an e-mail with a picture of the affected tile - and you can proceed from there.

  It sometimes takes two or three calls before you get an operator who knows and uses this procedure, but I know that it is possible and happens.

  I bought Windows 7 install on my Dell Dimension 2400 currently Windows XP.  I can move program Windows XP my laptop that is running windows 98?  I need to access or code # s to do this and if so, how I get supplied with the printer Dell reinstallation disks have not all codes on them?

  No you can't. Given that it's a Dell and it came with Windows XP pre-installed, it's an OEM of Windows version.  The biggest drawback of an OEM version (at least in the USA) is that its license it permanently binds to the computer first it is installed on. He can never legally be moved to another computer, sold, or given to outside (except with the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your license dies with him.

  And let me ask you as if you checked to make sure everything on the Dell is compatible with Windows 7, and there are Windows 7 drivers for all your hardware that requires it.

• Windows 7 Home Premium OA product key can be used only with the recovery disk?

  I bought an Acer laptop, he arrived with Windows 7 Home Prem OA sticker behind. I've heard, if you want to reinstall windows, we can only use Acer Recovery Disc for this product keys? Is this right? Can I use any other Windows 7 Home Prem CD and install it and then I put the product key of the laptop, it can also?

  Thank you

  You can use a disk from Windows 7 Home Edition Premium authentic retail.

  There is no need to separately download OEM or retail of Windows 7 RTM installation DVD ISO, as the release of Windows 7 installation can be easily converted using simply the correct product key (for example OEM_SLP product key can convert an installation of Windows 7 at retail in OEM version), as issued by the OEM product keys has a different basis of the retail product key. For ISO of DVD images, the only difference between a Windows 7 RTM retail ISO and ISO of OEM of Windows 7 RTM is in position of EI.cfg file [channel], which specifies the sales channel to retail or OEM.

• Can I activate Windows with a cd MAR key while using an OEM drive?

  MAR CD key, OEM disc

  The PC has been a repairer authorized Microsoft, and a product key of MAR on the side panel of the tower.  However, the disk hard out crapped and does not come with discs to re - install windows.  I have a windows XP Professional OEM drive, which is what the OS was when I got the computer.  In any case, MAR product key will not work with the OEM version installed from the disc I have.  I have no idea where to get a drive that will work with the key to the MAR, is there a way that Microsoft can upgrade the MAR touch to an OEM or retail so I can activate Windows?  Or at least I can activate this Windows again?

  If you have the key that works with the OEM disc, use it for installation only - do not activate.

  After the installation of Windows, use the official Microsoft product key Changer tool to update your product key and activate Windows.

• Windows 8 installation fails with the error "the product key entered don't match any available to install windows images.

  I have a Sony Vaio SVE1113M1EB provided with pre-installed Windows 8. Yesterday, my laptop won't start and recovery tools did not work. Then I deleted the partitions in stock and tried to install Windows 8 on DVD. He said: "the product key entered is not one of the images available for installation windows." I wrote my product key. How to install Windows 8?

  Original title: Installation of Windows 8

  Hi Qadir,

  The issue could be due to the supplied product key does not match the press which is used to install Windows. The product key that is provided can be a file without assistance, in a. EI. CFG file, in the PID.txt file or in the BIOS firmware. Windows OEM 8 machines ship with the product key in the firmware, and if this product key does not match the press, then you will see the above error message.

  I suggest you to change the product key to the correct for the media you are trying to install. If the system has a product key in the motherboard (o. a. 3.0 [Activation OEM] provides an OEM product key in the firmware), you use an Unattend file, file (EI.cfg) edition Configuration or the product ID file (PID.txt).

  You can check the link:

• Windows 7 32 bit version product key - where can I get this (UK)?

  Windows 7 32 bit version product key - where can I get this (UK)?

  Product keys are not sold separately, "retail" versions of Windows are products in box with installation support 32 and 64 Bit and plastic a card inside the box that contains the key. Anyone who sells the right key is most like a crook.

  Since Microsoft stopped selling Windows 7 about 2 years ago, it is very unlikely, you can find media "Retail".

  OEM versions (which are related to the 1st computer they are installed / activated on and can not be moved / used on another computer) but may still be available.

  Y at - it a registry key to check if the current user can install a windows updates? also, what registry key that is used to verify whether a user is an administrator or not. Thank you...

  There is no need to check the registry keys to see if you can install updates or not.

  You just need to be connected to an administrator account to install the Windows updates.

  You can check if you are in an administrator account by trying taks simple administrattor. For example. Try to change the time system.

  If you can change the time, you are an administrator; no other.
