'Certificate of authenticity' key invalid 2007 OEM vista laptop HP

I have a laptop HP Vista 32 bit Home Premium with Office home and Student 2007

I bought it from Best Buy in 2008 with installed programs.

A lot of programs that I use on a daily basis.

So far I have not need to fully activate some programs.

I have the 'Certificate of authenticity' numbers from the back of the computer.

I have Microsoft Works product extra-strong (I believe it's for (Word Processer) which works very well.)

I have an activation Windows product ID #.

Now that I need to use these products and I try to activate my product, I get the message that the 'key' is not valid.

I tried every number I can find.

None where tells you that he is an "Evaluation Version". The seller said it was of full versions.

What I forget?

Thank you

Word part of the office, as is OneNote - worksheet done part works.

You would need different keys for office and works.

NOTE that the key on the sticker on the case of the machine is almost certainly only for Windows, no office or works.

The Office Setup you have is a trial - and valid only for a certain number of uses, or a certain period of time, before requiring a license key valid

Regarding the works, which is probably an OEM installation, which should have appropriate, including a key tape

  • It is illegal to not have coa (certificate of authenticity) sticker on machine OEM windows 7

    Hello world. I'm working on a rental of TI and customers our laptops rent company. The question is, some of these laptops were sent without the COA sticker on it. It is illegal for a laptop that comes with windows 7 pro with no COA sticker on them?

    Its a dell laptop computer Vostro and they come with Windows 7 Pro. Yes, I can still use the Dell OEM disc to reinstall the OS and still make it genuine because it activates automatically, but it's still legal? No COA sticker?

    The question is, Windows 7 OEM version installation disc exclusively for their range of PC brand, that doesn't require activation (which means Windows is activated by default). This inherited feature is applicable for all models, regardless of the Windows license that contains the product.

    For example, if you buy a Dell with Windows 7 Ultimate laptop preinstalled (you can find COA with the product key) and creates a recovery disk or an installation disc came with the PC, the work of discs fine with other models (works with the other model range of only Dell and do not agree with other brands like HP) that this also where Windows 7 Edition Home Premium or no windows (such as BACK or Linux in which case, COA is not present) was preinstalled. Can't find any question using the same Windows 7 Ultimate in these parts as these PCs also are the same OEM built. But this step is illegal according to the law, as the license is for Windows 7 Home Premium and no payment (for the upgrade or a new license) has been filed before using Windows 7 Ultimate edition.
    To stop this, Microsoft has improved the technique of licenses in Windows 8 where the COA/product key is embedded in the BIOS of the computer itself and so built the provided Windows installation disc with that particular PC cannot be installed in other PC, even if they are from the same manufacturer.
    In your case, lack of COST means, the label must have been damaged or removed or that the product is legally authorized to hold preinstalled Windows 7. In this case, he must purchase a new license. If the label is damaged or deleted, you can install the same edition of Windows 7, but that many want to confirm with Dell, using the Express Service Code or Service number, before continuing.
  • HP20002D19WM came with no software (cyberlink) key and certificates of authenticity for windows

    I just bought the HP20002D19WM, which came with no software (cyberlink) key and certificates of authenticity for windows. I can't use any program cyberlink with a key number to enter. Also if I would give for somereason I wonder in my number of windows I would not be able to since I have ever trevieved it

    This is the original factory specifications for your laptop HP 2000-2d19WM. All Cyberlink OEM software should work without key, because it is not mandatory for the installed OEM mass products. Regarding the Windows product key, see Activation of Windows 8 product;

    • OEM Activation 3.0 (OA3) at the factory. A digital product key (DPK) is encrypted and installed on the motherboard BIOS during the manufacturing process. Windows 8 will be ignited automatically the first time that the computer is connected to the Internet. With systems activated by OA3, most of the computer's hardware can be replaced without the need to reactivate the software from Microsoft.

  • A horse of Trojan/worm trashed my netbook. The only solution was to reformat. I have a genuine certificate of authenticity. I can't activate XP home

    A horse of Trojan/worm trashed my netbook. The only solution was to reformat. I have a genuine certificate of authenticity. I reinstall XP home on a CD, but the key does not work. There are no disks with the laptop (samsung n110). Any thoughts that does not involve forced to part with $149 for W7?

    The COA is on the underside of the netbook. The XP Home has been installed on the netbook when I bought new from PC World.

    I assume that the CD (since your laptop is dead which replaces this netbook) I used has some other codes wired inside or MS think I'm installing twice when it should be used on a single machine. I thought that the COA was unique to my netbook and so proves that I am not pull a fast.

    Samsung have this recovery application that has been blown away by the reformat.

    Everything is new except activate my XP home.

    I would upgrade to W7 to avoid this pain, but there is a recession on you know :)

    At latest

    I see now.

    If you can get a generic XP Home OEM CD, you should be fine. (Yes, I'm aware that it may not be easy to find these days).

    Netbooks are so problematic; I never want one!

    Good luck with the Samsung forum.

  • Certificate of authenticity will work after you install the new copy of Windows 7 64-bit?

    * Original title: COA

    Hi all

    I bought a used Dell laptop which still has its COA on the bottom of the unit.  Apparently the device was installed with Win 7 when new.  I would like to install a new copy of Win 7 64 bit, but would not know if the COST I would work since there is no information if the original installation is 32-bit or 64-bit.   Thanks for any information you could share with me.

    TT

    The COA will work as long you have correspondent reinstall media:

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  • What happens if I install a new windows on a computer product key OEM windows laptop?

    I bought a laptop in 2009 with Windows Vista Home Basic OEM on it (I still have the sticker of the portable product key).

    This year, I bought a larger capacity HARD drive and installed on my laptop.

    I thought it was the perfect time to upgrade to Windows 7, so I bought a DVD of Windows 7 Ultimate.

    I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my HDD new and used the new Windows 7 Ultimate DVD product key.

    My questions are,

    What will happen to the product key Windows Vista Home Basic OEM?

    If it is replaced with the new product key?

    Is the OEM product key became invalid?

    Now I use Windows Pro 10, as a free upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate, so...

    What my new Windows 10 Pro registered product key?

    I know that since windows 8, the product key is installed on the BIOS (am I right?).

    then, how it actually works?

    Thank you very much for the reply.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    No matter if you did a clean Windows 7 or updated installation to upgrade to windows 7 from Vista, this OEM Vista product key is blocked on this computer and cannot be transferred to another machine.

    You can only use this key OEM of Vista to reinstall Vista on this particular machine and start over.

    Licensing rules (my words)

    If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) and the license OEM System Builders are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when machine who dies.

    Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Rec would be the free upgrade to 10 7 as Vista never qualified for the free upgrade to 10.

    The key/license Windows product to describe the operating system, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, etc. is absorbed by upgrading Windows 10 during the installation process and becomes an integral part of the active Windows 10 final installation.

    The license qualifying operating system, either Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, etc. cannot be used anywhere else, or in a dual boot with Windows 10.

    But there is no product key for your free upgrade to 10.

    Hardware configuration you laptop is stored on Microsoft servers and how your machine will be recognized if you always want to reinstall 10.

    See you soon.

  • certificate of Authenticity number

    Hello

    Certificate of authenticity Label has faded. I can't read the number more, unfortunately when I bought the laptop, I didn't know that this number was important, that I saved only the product key

    Microsoft told me to contact HP for that. nobody at hp has no idea where to find where that contact.

    f.y.i: currently my disks are formatted. I hope that HP will restore using the recovery disks, that they will carry out. I don't know if the COST would be somewhere on the sytem after finishing because it's standard discs that they will send.

    Kind regards

    Faraz

    Hello

    I'm assuming from your previous posts, that you intend to reinstall Windows 7.

    If it is correct and you use HP recovery media, you will not need to enter the key of your COA label - once installation is complete, Windows will automatically activate via a license table (slic) of the software on the chip bios and embedded security certificate.

    Kind regards

  • do I need a genuine certificate of authenticity for windows 98 since its so old?

    Hi I have a copy of windows 98, but not the certificate of authenticity. so I did some research and found an article that says you can u a generic coa in windows 98 since its so old, then it displays the certificate of authenticity and said microsoft has given to them so I was wondering if this is true and if I can use this cost I'll add a link

  • Tried to repair XP, cannot find the certificate of authenticity but have product IDS

    I tried to repair my Windows XP.  Have the drive and the product ID (T8GTV-8VDJK-KMF92-63F4K-P3JJH) that came on the file supplied with the disc.  ID does not work.  Says I need a certificate of Authenticity number.  I have a blank card that says that the COA has been removed by the PC manufacturer and should be attached to the PC.  Can't find it.  Now I'm stuck in the installation program, and the PC is useless.  Not good Microsoft! Need activation ID!

    I did the repair option.  He asks the ID of product key does not work.  Now, he does nothing but try to go in the installation program.  I can try to switch to Windows 7, but who knows if it will work with the PC stuck in installing XP now.

    Installation of Windows 7 should not be a problem even if you have not completed the installation of Xp. However, you can run KillDisk or another disk utility wipe first. Download the version of the iso bootable.

  • I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

    * Original title: get the product key

    I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

    Hello

    Your question is not very clear to understand.

    If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, this product key is NOT for Windows 7.

    There is a free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 years, but that offer expired for a long time.

    How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?

    The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your Windows 7 update will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Option of upgrade Windows 7 program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.

    Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, but it does NOT come for free.

    Try Amazon.com, etc.

    ___________________________________________________________

  • Where can I find key for business to Vista pre-installed on my laptop?

    Where can I find key for business to Vista pre-installed on my laptop?  Yes, I have a legal authenticated copy of Vista business on my laptop.  I recently had to reinstall everything on my laptop, but had some problems using the backup disks that I initially created for this purpose.  I finally managed to do it, but it would be so much easier in the future if I had a with key correct installation disc.  So, first of all, where can I download an Installation of Vista Business disc; and second, where I look on my current laptop installation to determine the key authenticated for my current installation?  Is this possible?

    Hello

    Many manufacturers of computers DO still have available Vista recovery discs.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
