• "The activation server reported that the product key has exceeded its limit of unlocking". Error

  Hello

  I recently changed my motherboard and processor because my old card mother and fried CPU. I had Windows 8 Pro (64-bit) installed earlier, an upgrade to Windows 7 (64-bit). As soon as I started first of all, I got a notification asking me to re - activate my Windows but when I try to activate it with my original key, I get this error: "the activation server reported that the product key has exceeded its limit of unlocking".

  I tried to activate by phone, but instead connect to the automated system, I keep to redirect to voicemail after a few rings. Can someone help me to activate my Windows again? I'm in Karachi, Pakistan.

  The report shows that it is been activated previously, but that the material has changed considerably since the activation - hence the request for reactivation.

  Not too surprising if you traded motherboards. :))

  Telephone activation is definitely the way to go - but it's in the lap of the gods (i.. activation e. operator the MS) as to if they will allow it if the original Win7 installation was an OEM.

  My belief is that they will allow him - of some people hold that they will not :)

  Try this instead and explain your situation to a live person.

  1 / click on the Start button.

  2 / in the Search box type: slui.exe 4 and press enter.

  3 / in the find window available for activation phone number, select the nearest location where you lie in the location box. You can click the arrow to the right of the location box to expand your choice of venues.

  4 / once you have selected your location, click Next.

  5 / If the user account control box, click continue or, if you are not the administrator, type in the username and password for permission to continue.

  6 / the window Activate Windows now will appear indicating the phone number you are dealing with a series of installation identification numbers.

  7 / now compose the activation number is displayed on the screen. The phone number is free of charge (telephone), unless otherwise stated.

  8 / you understand that, initially, the line of Activation is Automatic, so you will be asked to enter the numbers displayed on your screen using your telephone keypad.

  9 / once the numbers entered via the keypad of your phone, the automated service will issue you with another set of numbers that you Type in the dialog box that is displayed on your computer screen.

  10 / now you must follow the instructions issued by the automated service to activate your copy.

  11 / if, after going through this process, the activation service informs you that the product cannot be activated and then DO NOT slam the phone down in rage. Rather STAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to an Activation of the device, in other words, someone real who will help you to activate your copy of Windows Vista.

  12 / I am aware that these steps can be a pain, but nine times out of ten, Activation is automatic and can be accomplished quite easily on the internet. This is the reason why the service is automated. It is true that sometimes the automatism cannot stop, and when this happens, you are put through to someone who can help you.
