• Cannot find the product key for Microsoft Office 2007 on laptop

  I have MS Office 2007 pre-installed on my Toshiba laptop that I recently had to do a recovery and now my MS Office programs i.e. MS Word and Excel are blocked and I can not use! Where can I find the product key for pre-installed Microsoft Office 2007 on my laptop?

  Hello coastaln8ive,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  Since your Office 2007 pre-installed with Toshiba, you should contact Toshiba to see if they will provide with Office recovery disks.
  It would be Toshiba to provide records.

• Cannot find the product key and can not use the gift cards to buy Windows 7 from retail store

  Original title: Let Down by Microsoft Retail store

  My daughter lives and breathes on his pc. We had some tough times lately, and of course, his computer has had too many problems. In February of this year, I bought a Win 7 Home Premium for his pc. Since we moved, so I can't find the package with the product key, or the disc. I have $75 in gift cards from Microsoft, I need to buy new win 7 hp. Almost all retailers (in store and online) competitive price a new copy for about $119. We have been saving, and with gift cards, I would have just enough money to buy win 7 hp for my daughter. I went to our Microsoft store in the Mall. (Don't forget I saved for about 6 weeks, we are on a budget, then gift cards have been a miracle!) Guess what? The only place that I can use the maps from Microsoft wants $199.99. To add insult to injury - I can't use gift cards for purchases in line-HELP! We waited 2 months just to be left out... I am very disappointed by Microsoft.
  I thought that we recorded our product with Microsoft when it was originally installed, but cannot find anyone. All solutions?

  If you have purchased windows is installed a keyfinder allows you to recover your product key.

  I think that the price of $119 is to upgrade xp/vista to windows 7.
  the $199 price is for the full version.

• Cannot find the product key for Windows 7 Home Premium

  I don't have the product key of Windows 7 Home Premium? Where can I find it?

  Original title: Charles 111

  Hello

  Welcome to the Microsoft community.

  I would like to ask you:

  • Did you buy Windows 7, or was it pre-installed on your PC?

  If you bought a copy of Windows 7, you must have the drive and the product key is on the cover of the disc or the disc itself.

  If Windows was preinstalled on your PC, there could be a sticker anywhere on the system with a product key to this topic.

  Note: Not all PC makers provide the key on a sticker on the machine body. You may need to contact them for the same thing.

• Cannot find the product key

  I can't find my product key. I bought as a student, and I never received any e-mail with the product key. I checked my products and Plans, and no products have been registered

  Because you send messages in a creative forum Cloud, the response to your request for a product key would be that there is none.

• My hard drive crashed and I had to reload vista. I can not find the product key. What can I do?

  My hard drive crashed and I had to reload vista. I can not find the product key. What can I do?

  Contact the manufacturer of your computer.

  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.

  If the product key is lost, we can NOT help you replace.

  See you soon.

• Where can I get the product key to reinstall Windows 8 on my WANT Sleekbook 6?

  Product: ENVY Sleekbook 6 (6-1110us)

  Initially, this laptop came with pre-installed Windows 8. I want to reinstall Windows 8, but a Virtual Machine, the breast so I can't use the bits of food with what he delivered. I'm under Ubuntu 12.10 as principal/host OS and will have several virtual machines of Windows running at the top of it.

  Where can I find the product key for Windows 8?

  There is no sticker on the box with a key, and I dug through all the paperwork that comes with it.

  Your help is greatly appreciated!

  ----------
  To say thank you, click the button of "Bravo!"

  Appears that Microsoft has changed the terms of the license with Windows 8. See the next root thread: http://superuser.com/questions/517142/running-windows-8-in-a-vm-can-i-use-the-copy-that-came-with-my-laptop

  In addition, a rather good article exceeding the various changes in the terms of the license of the new Windows 8: http://www.zdnet.com/how-the-new-windows-8-license-terms-affect-you_p2-7000003028/

  They consider now a physical PC and a virtual machine to be * separated * computers. Since the preinstalled Windows 8 use an OEM license, this license cannot be moved between the "computers".

  For anyone interested in doing something similar (mobile Windows 8 in a virtual machine), you must purchase an additional license. Upgrade license or a System Builder should work.

• Windows 8 Beta - cannot verify the product key

  Hi all

  After you have installed Windows 8 beta last year on my laptop, I bought the upgrade to the full version of Windows 8 and received a product key by e-mail as part of the purchase or download.  Now, I'm trying to use the same disk of Windows 8 Beta to install the OS on my desktop.  After you enter the product key, I get a message saying "cannot verify the product key - check your installation media."

  Can someone explain why the beta key does not work and if I get a new key?

  Thank you

  No, you can't, but what you can do is, use the following link to download and create the installation media that you can use to upgrade other computers.

  Please note, if other computers are running versions of 32-bit or 64-bit, you will need to create a respective installation media corresponding to the architecture of the facilities running on these computers (32 or 64-bit):

  If you must reinstall Windows 8 or you want to install it on one partition and you do not have installation media, you can create it using the installer of Windows 8. To create a support, you must use a PC running Windows 8.1, Windows 8, or Windows 7, and it must have the same architecture (32 or 64-bit) than the PC you want to install Windows 8.1 on. You will also need your product key of Windows 8.

  You can usually find your product key in your online order information, in the confirmation email of your purchase, or on the DVD packaging. The product key will look something like this: XXXXX - XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX.

  Once you have your product key and you are on a PC running Windows 7, Windows 8 or 8.1 of Windows, follow these steps:

  1. Run the program installation of Windows 8 .

  2. When you are prompted to run or save the file, choose run

  3. When you are prompted to enter a product key, enter the 25-character product key, that you received when you purchased Windows 8.1.

  4. When you are prompted to install Windows 8.1, select install by creating media and then click Next.

  Select the type of media you want to use: either a Flash DRIVE or a DVD.

  To create a USB flash drive

  1. Click on a USB flash drive.

  2. Plug the USB key into a USB port on your PC.

  3. When you are prompted, select the USB key that you want to use, and then click Next.

     If you have files on the USB flash drive, it will remove them.

  To create a DVD

  1. Click on the ISO file, and then select the location where to save the ISO file.

  2. Insert a blank recordable DVD into your DVD drive.

  3. Burn the ISO of the DVD file using Windows disc Image burner, or another program DVD burning.

  Please note that you will have a unique individual license (product key) for each computer you want to upgrade.

  You can buy additional product keys to:

• How can I find the product key for a specific OEM drive?

  Product key for reinstallation question

  I want to reinstall Windows XP on my Dell computer.  I have the oem disc, but it is mixed with the other two provided with two other computers Dell oem disks that were purchased at the same time.  The sticker on my computer displays a product key.  When I do a search for product key on the computer using a program key finder, sometimes with a different product key.  Which should I use and is at - there a way to find the product key on the disc?  Thanks for any help.

  PS. the unattend.txt to disk file is NOT the correct product key.

  If the drive of a Dell computer with the same edition of the OS, then you can use the disc - I think that each of them will have the same key as the one that is currently installed (and that on your sticker)

  Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

  (A) OEM SLP: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with Bios OEM flag only on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows key leans on the motherboard and he sees the flag proper Bios OEM (for the manufacturer and the version of Windows) and activates.

  (B) SLP COA: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side, bottom or (for some laptops) in the compartment of the battery from your computer. It's a valid product key, but it should be used only in certain situations (for example, when the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone.
