• Try to activate Windows, error: this product key has already been used on another computer

  (Original title: Hi I get this key product and equipment repaired already in use)

  How can I fix? any suggestions please? I can't activate my windows because it says that it has already been used, the cause of this is my equipment got repaired and when he returned he disabled just, please

  I tried to enter my product key for windows, and he just said "this product key has already been used on another computer" but that is the only computer where I installed my Windows 8, I tried the method by which you must contact their office by the number of the machine and you must give them 9 packed numbers and enter this told you on the phone. But I can't contact then given the number of the machine and also I tried to send the technician takes charge, but it did not help, I need help badly please. Thank you.

  Hi Christian,

  I understand that after getting your equipment repaired, you cannot activate Windows 8.

  As the ID of the product gets changed every time the internal components of the machine are modified and when you try to activate Windows it identifies it as a machine to new or different.

  I suggest you contact the support phone or chat for assistance with Windows.

• "Camera is already in use by another program.

  I have Windows 7 Ultimate and a LifeCam VX-6000.
  The reason why I bought this new camera is because my previous Logitech camera also got the error "camera is already in use by another program", and I read on the internet that Logitech not have updates day for Windows 7 yet.
  Whenever I open the LifeCam software, it says "Initialization error" after attempting to connect.
  I looked at all my processes and none would use the camera, and I've updated the drivers of all my USB ports.
  In addition to try it with Windows Live Messenger, I tried it with Skype and AOL Instant Messenger, all my video programs say that the camera is already in use.
  I tried to restart my computer, programs and even reinstall the camera software but nothing works.
  I also installed SplitCam to try to mislead other programs using the SplitCam video driver as a video source, but that doesn't work anymore.
  I don't have any connected TV adapters, just a mouse, keyboard and camera with a USB port left free.
  After looking at my device manager, a single device has a flag on this issue, saying: there is no drivers installed - a mass storage controller located in PCI Bus 6, device 9, function 3, but I don't think this affects the camera.
  Please let me know ASAP, I need my ability to shoot back!
  Sincerely,
  Dharma L.

  Those who have the same methods that were posted above.  So instead of calling Microsoft to access my computer remotely and fix it, I just reformat and re-installed Windows 7 on my computer, and now the camera works perfectly.

• Windows Vista activation problem, error: product key is already in use on another computer.

  Original title: activation problems.

  After installing Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit on my laptop, he asks now the product key to activate windows.  He won't accept him, indicating that the product key is already used on another computer.  It is not the case! What can I do?

  Hello les1helen,

  If you get a message that the product key is already in use then the next step is to use telephone activation. See this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• Need to activate Vista, but do not have another product key

  Well, I m using window vista Home premium, but I don, t ve produst the other key to activity from my window

  * original title - I want activity my window vista Home premium but I n, t have another product key, so I did that shoul? *

  Hi gulabsher,

  You don't need a different product key for re - activate Vista or it after a re-installation.  The original supplied with the software should do just fine.  However, it is possible that the automated process will not recognize your original valid product key because he thinks that it is already used (and it is from their point of view - on your own computer).

  If the automated process fails, use the manual method to activate Vista using the correct product key which accompanies the software.  Remember, if it's an OEM license, it can only be used on the same computer, on which it was originally installed and if a retail license, it can be installed on any computer capable of managing this version of Vista, but only on one computer at a time.

  To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country
  and click Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation and it is only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista (or explain why there is a problem if they do not).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Cannot activate Vista! Help, please!

  My laptop came originally installed with Microsoft XP. A year ago I bought an 'Upgrade' Windows Vista disc to my computer instead. I've updated, everything was fine and then a month ago windows could no longer work. I could not reinstall Vista, because I only had the upgrade version, and I don't have XP.

  I was able to install Vista without using the key supplied with the drive, but of course I was given 30 days to activate it - who is not able to do. Now, windows must stop working once AGAIN, unless I repeat again and again the installation process. I think it is complete BS that Microsoft does that. I bought the drive, I have the key, they should provide me with a way to solve the problem that THEY should have been fixed a long time ago. Vista stop working due to problems of Vista. I can't even use their technical support, because I refuse to pay the sum of $59.99, they ask.

  Is there a way I can activate my Vista program so I don't have to keep reinstalling each month? I don't have an XP disc, and it never came with the laptop.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting.

  You use the telephone option to activate Vista.

  Click the Start button.

  1. in the search box, type slui.exe 4 and press enter.

  3. Select your country in the menu dropdown.

  4. click on continue in the UAC prompt.

  5. an toll-free telephone number will appear with a set of numbers generated by Windows and displayed on your screen.

  6. dial the number and follow the automated instructions.

  If the activation service informs you that she has failed and cannot help with activation, then STAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to a representative of Activation.

  Simply explain to the representative the situation and that they will help in the activation of Vista.

  Let us know the results.

• Product key Vista already in use?

  I have a Compaq Presario F730 Notebook PC. I bought it two years ago. Today, when I got home I got a message on my screen that said that I needed to get my vista product key. I entered and it notified me that my key was already in use. I went to the Microsoft site and basically, he told me that I had to check my information produced by phone. I did, but they said I had a "defect in my product key." After being transferred to a technician, told me that Compaq had bought the license to put vista on my computer and it would have to be solved on end of Compaq. They me transferred to Compaq and I waited an hour before I hung up. Is there anyway to get the support of a technician on the forums? Everyone fell on this problem, if so, how you resolve?

  I usually more luck on the cat... have you tried? http://welcome.HP.com/country/us/en/contact/chat_1.html (for US), I'm not sure it would work as well as the phone in your situation, though, as you will need to speak to a representative at a higher level. You might be better just try calling at different times of the day to find one of the periods of time during the day when the queue of the call is low.

• receiving exception "resource requested by this task has already been used by another task' for unknown reason

  Hi people.

  I am running in a bazaar error I'm not around.  I have a series of cDAQ chassis (9188) with a number of NOR 9208 each.  Everything I'm doing is the simplest of the simple acquisition of VI to extract data from each of the 16 channels of each 9208 and push values for the configuration UI.

  NOTE: the material is SIMULATED in MAX.

  I'm trying to create a task for each 9208, but DAQmx start Task.vi bombs out after the code creates the first few tasks successfully.  The exception:

  "Error occurred 200022 DAQmx = begin Task.vi; "Possible reasons: resource requested by this task has already been reserved by another task."

  Please see the attached screenshot.  I have provided two tables of physical constants Channel. Bombs currently wired table on 'AI_Module_07 '.  The unwired table bombs on the last "AI_Module_08".  It seems that I can move these constants in the table, so there is little or no motive behind the order.

  There are also segments of screenshot of MAX and the exception in the block diagram.

  Thanks to a bouquet.

  -Chris

  Hello Chris,

  Based on the screenshot you provided, it looks like you use too many independent tasks in a single chassis - I think that the timing engine can handle three (four memory), but based on this knowledge basethree simultaneous HAVE tasks - you can certainly use all eight locations to HAVE, but they will need to be divided into synchronized subsets.

  That said, if it is in fact the problem is that I feel, a more specific error would appropriate the "resource" referred in the present case is ostensibly the timing engine, but further clarification would be useful.

  Best regards

• Disabled, but it shows again the product key is already in use on another PC.

  I disabled Windows 8 pro on my desk that I wanted to transfer the product key to my laptop.
  After you have installed Windows 8 pro on my laptop with the installer in the email successfully, then I have to stick my turn off windows 8 pro key which I have just disabled on my desk by using the slmgr.vbs command and it shows the product key is already used on another PC on my laptop.

  So I went about trying the phone activation, they always gave me that same thing product key is already used on another PC.
  What can I do now? Thanks :)

  Call the number of disabling worked for me. Thank you!

  I also followed your disable windows (on the previous machine) instructions before calling:
