Can windows7 retail key asset OEM Dell disk on the other computer (Dell no)?

Hi, I have a Dell laptop with 32-bit windows7 proffessional preinstalled. In addition, it has sticker OEM key on the back. I've damaged seriously this laptop which cannot be recovered by mistake (before damaged, re-setup for windows not happens on this laptop). I also has a self-construction (not Dell) desktop that is runing windows XP. I downloaded the release version of windows 7 Professional 32-bit digital river. If I install the retail of windows 7 Professional 32-bit on my desktop, can I use the OEM key in my laptop for activation?

If so, the activation can be completed via the internet? Or should I call the Microsoft hotline to explain what is happening so that activation is possible? Thanks in advace.

No, you can't.

The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    Yes, don't worry if you migrate to the same operating system (Mac or Win).

    Catalogue conversion works well.

    If you plan to migrate to another computer, you need to transfer your image files as your catalogs, which means that you can use the backup and restore method:

    Organizing moving items catalogue | Elements 6 or later version

    When you use this method, the restore process recognizes if the database version is the same. If it is newer, it invites you to convert the catalog after the restoration.

    To transfer the software elements itself, you will need to:

    -Use the Help menu > disconnect deactivate your license from the old computer

    -Reinstall the software

    -use the same menu to sign with your product license key.

    Concerning

    Hello

    You can install OEM Grid control on a separate server.

    But remember that for OEM grid control, you need a database in the repository. This repository can be on the server used for the OMS (Oracle Management Service) or on a separate server:

    http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/E11857_01/install.111/e15838/overview.htm#CJAHHFEA

    In any case, it must be aware that Oracle, Oracle Management Service and the repository Agent must be able to communicate with each other and to use specific Ports.

    So be sure that these Ports are open and free to use.

    You can not, for at least one (and two possible) reasons.

    1. it isn't clean if you want to have two computers, or you
    you want to remove from the old computer and put it on the new. If
    you want once, you can't do that - the rule is very clear: there
    a copy (or a license) for each computer.

    There is nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that has been in
    effect on all versions of Windows from at least with Windows 3.1.

    2. but even if you want it on a single and from uninstall
    the old computer, you can't do it. It is because if it came with the
    computer, it is an OEM version and the biggest drawback to he a
    OEM version, is that its license it permanently binds to the first
    It is installed on the computer. He can never legally be moved to another
    computer, sold or assigned (except with the original computer).

  • Reuse windows 7 cd and key on a new laptop when the other broke?

    Hello

    I have a windows 7 cd that I bought a few years ago. The laptop, it is installed on is broken (graphics card is broken on my hp so the screen is blank). I'm going to buy a new laptop, but its less expensive with no os cannot use the cd and on the new key.

    Thank you

    If its a version upgrade of Windows 7, you cannot use it, because you will need to have a qualifying earlier version of Windows to be able to use the version upgrade (Windows XP or Vista).

    If it's a commercial version full, then you can use and reactivate by phone:

    How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
     
    1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
     
    (2) press the ENTER"" key.
     
    (3) select your "country" in the list.
     
    (4) choose the option "activate phone".
     
    (5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
     
    (6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.
     
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950929/en-us

    If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

    How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Click on drive Options

    Select the disc/s click on Delete

    Click new

    Click on apply

    Click OK

    Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • Expand the size of the hard disk to the virtual computer

    My current VM HD size is 8 GB.

    I tried to to 12 GB, but got the message: these settings cannot be changed wile has a virtual machine snapshot.  To make these changes, first delete all snapshots.

    With Windows turned off, I went Virtual Machine in the menu bar, chose Snapshots in the menu drop down and deleted the Snapshot, I had.

    When I went again to increase to 12 GB, I got the same message again: these settings cannot be changed wile has a virtual machine snapshot.  To make these changes, first delete all snapshots.

    Return to snapshots; No Snapshots in the list, only the button to take a snapshot, but I can't always change the size of the disk.

    I'm missing something here.  How can I increase the size of the HD 12 GB VM?

    Meanwhile, I reason to assume that the text listing the string you gave me can be used in the terminal?

    Yes.

    LS - lAF Users/jiruifu/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows XP Home Edition.vmwarevm

    Spaces are used to separate arguments (then ls thought you to put it on a number of different files, which none exist). Or the other of the following should work:

    ls -lAF "/Users/jiruifu/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows XP Home Edition.vmwarevm"
    ls -lAF /Users/jiruifu/Documents/Virtual\ Machines.localized/Windows\ XP\ Home\ Edition.vmwarevm
    

    The two methods to escape spaces for ls include the path. A practical thing to remember is that if you drag and drop a file into a Terminal window, it will automatically enter the path with escape sequence for you.
