change the product key on windows 7 ultimate 64-bit full
Let's make has a history very very short. Earlier this year, I bought 4 copies of Windows 7 Ultimate full 64-bit for internet and loaded mrechant on 4 machines (3 upgrades from Vista and 1 new installation) without a hitch. The software was perfect for a few months until recently Microsoft me notified that the software was not "authentic". Apparently this software was not allowed to sell in the USA.
In any case, if I buy a new genuine Windows 7 Ultimate Full 64-bit version, can't I just change the product key to solve this problem? I know I need to ultimately get 4 copies.
Thanks in advance!

Change the product key for Windows 7 Code
I bought a package of Windows 7 from a supplier without realizing it was a distribution of subscription "not for sale". It is now installed on my computer after a painful migration from a dying hard drive which had Windows Vista installed. The old drive is now corrupt and not repairable.
When I tried to record the installation, I found that he was blocked. I have to make sure that it is for the reason above somehow. How to check this?
It seems I have to buy another Package of Windows 7 but I don't want to do a fresh install since I went to great effort to set up the installation on a new SSD and have all of my applications transferred intact.
Is it possible to just change the product key of the new package to apply to my existing install without having to reinstall everything?
Just for the completion of this thread, I decided to pass my final action to get my computer system operating system up-to-date.
Assuming it was a MSDN product licensed, it was repackaged in a retail store packaging and sold as such.
Needing my computer back to the status of full support, I bought a 64-bit edition (non - OEM) of Windows 10 full retail on USB media. Is it installed just fine on top of the MSDN license of Windows 7 and allowed me to install without erasing the contents of the disc. My applications and drivers are intact. Windows 10 also all updates installed correctly.
This allowed me to remedy the situation without having to re - install everything that would have been very time consuming.
Thank you for your help.

Where is the product key for Windows vista ultimate?
I got a windows vista Ultimate edition, about 1 month ago and now when I try to get into windows, the system asket me to fill the product key, but I don't know how I can get this product key, could you help me?
To install Vista, you need a product key to activate the product and you are given 30 days to go until the system starts to operate with reduced functionality until you activate. If it came pre-installed, this should not be necessary, but if it is him asking when even then the product key is on a label attached to the side, back, bottom, or inside the laptop case. It's a code 5 sets of 5 digits separated by dashes 25-digit alphanumeric (and very small and hard to read). If you have purchased the product yourself and installed, the key of the product supplied with the product (he was in the box or in the disc holder or may have been sent by electronic mail if the purchase has been download). You need to talk to the guy who gave you the product (the manufacturer or the seller) to see if they can help you with the product key or the situation. It is has nothing that we can do to help you with this problem except to tell you where to look and suggest places to contact to get the problem resolved if they are capable or willing.
I hope this helps. If not, how do you have Vista Ultimate in the first place (how and where did you bought it)?
Good luck!

I have no idea how the product key has been changed to my OS to an OEM_SLP as I have the genuine key supplied with the system on the COA label.
I bought this system through Best Buy and today I received a notice that it uses a non-genuine version of Windows 7 Home Premium, but when I noticed the wrong product key, I have been unable to return to the good pair through my computer properties in the Activation of Windows.
How can I update the product key without having to uninstall/reinstall?

I need to change the product key
We work with images here and we have a lot of machines that are identical. We have activated Windows on the original image and did all the updates before creating the image. Now, when we use this same image, it is still saved and activated with the initial machine where the image has been created, but the key to use is different because it is another computer with a new Microsoft Windows XP sticker (certificate). I used the "KeyUpdateTool_enu" downloaded directly from Microsoft and after you enter the new key, it says that it cannot update the key.
I tried the msoobe /a registry proposed on the site of Micrsoft hack and it says that Windows is already registered.
So what I want to do is to just change the product with a new key. The key corresponds to the version of Windows, so this isn't the problem.
Thanks in advance.
Its slow but it works as long as you don't have too many computers:

How can I change the product key Windows 7 starter edition
Hi all
I tried to change the product key on my netbook, because I had to replace the hard drive and I used my recovery disks of the brothers that he has the same exact model. However when I had done restoring the product key is also the same so I wanted to put the original back on.
I used slui methods both properties before, but neither give me a way to change the product key at the moment. When I go to properties it says only: windows is activated without any options to change of key and when I run slui a window appears which says activation succeeded.
Am I missing something? or is it because its Windows 7 starter?
Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance

Change the product key to use COA OEM during the product upgrade
I found the kkid106 question "can I use a product key Windows 7 OEM to a retail facility.
But as it is not my particular case, I want to be sure and make the issue.
The question is on a clean install of Windows 7 Home Retail using Windows 7 OEM Home. My case is not a clean install.
I have the following two scenarios:
Scenario 1. A computer with Windows XP Pro OEM who got the original damage. I have an Image backup which I bring to a Destination with Windows 8 OEM computer. I get a retail upgrade of Windows 8. I restore the Image to the destination computer, and then upgrade old XP Pro OEM with retail upgrade to Windows 8. Technically I find myself with a computer without a license since the upgrade come from an OEM from another computer. Now, I change the product key by using the Destination COA OEM computer to make a licensed computer.
This scenario is correct. Can I validate the license online or by phone?
Scenario 2. A computer with Windows XP Pro OEM who got the original damage. I have an Image backup which I bring to a Destination with Windows 8 OEM computer. I have an Upgrade download Windows 8 without product key. I restore the Image to the destination computer, and then upgrade old XP Pro OEM upgrade download to Windows 8. I find myself with a computer without a license, because the upgrade is unlicensed and comes from an OEM from another computer. Now, I change the product key by using the Destination COA OEM computer to make a licensed computer.
This scenario is correct. Can I validate the license online or by phone?
Hi Jose,
I would like to send you the items provided, they talk about how use OEM keys with the retail copy.

Hello
The situation is like this: I have 10 Acer laptops with linux installed on them and 10 Windows XP home sp3.
I have instaled on laptop and after that I created an image of the hard drive and installed on a computer to second and third.
The problem is that all 3 computers have the same product keys. I want to change the product key.
Before I created the image I activated the license and I tried to change, with a few small programs, the product, but keys with no luck. Is there a way to do this without having to reinstall the operating system?
Thanks in advance.Given that you have a valid Windows XP key license and product for each computer, try this:
1. run the registry editor and change at least one digit of the value of this key:
HLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT / CurrentVersion / WPAEvents / OOBETimer
2. click on start > run and enter this command:
%systemroot%\System32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a
3. Select Yes, I want a phone rep > next > change product key.
4 type the new product key, and then click Update.
5. turn on.
WARNING: Incorrectly editing the registry can damage your system and prevent Windows to start. Before you do, back up your important data, make a restore point and make sure that you know how to repair a damaged system.
