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.

  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

• Product key is already in use - activation of a copy on a new computer.

  Recently, I bought a computer from a big brand. I installed a legitimate copy of Windows Vista Edition Family Premium on it which came with my dads computer, also bought the same brand. The installed fine print, on more than one occasion and has been also validated successfully on each installation. The same disc has been used before that to install and activate a copy of Windows on my dads computer.

  However, my computer broke and after much hassl, he was returned to the company and I am waiting for a refund. I formatted the computer off until it is, including the installed copy of Vista.

  Now, I bought a new computer and installed the same copy of Vista on it. Once again no problems with installation.

  When I came to activate Windows online I met with the message that the product key is already in use. Of searching this forum I found that I was able to activate the copy by phone and so called, followed the instructions and was told that I could not activate this copy that was only to use a computer.

  How can I now go to the activation of the copy that I have on my new computer? If I was told it correctly and it can be installed on a computer, then how is it that a second facility was made and activated on my old and now returned computer?

  Any help would be valuable.

• 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.

  ___________________________________________________________

  And if you ask to transfer the license of Windows 7 from a mobile to another laptop:

  You tell us what type of license you have.

  If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

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

  The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

  License of operating system in detail, 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.

  When activating my windows vista ultimate product, I get the response that the license key is already in use, let me know how to solve this problem?

  KiranS Hello,

  Judging by your post, it seems that Microsoft had technical problems when you tried to activate your copy of Vista by phone. Have you tried phoning the line Activation again?

  The normal procedure is that if the activation fails through the automated system, the call is transferred to a real person. It is the only available option if you get the error 'use existing product key'.

  I can only suggest that you try again the activation by phone and see what happens.

• Reinstalling Windows Vista, but do not have the product key. How can I find?

  Install Vista on two machines
  OK, so one of my friends has Ubunto Linux installed on their system and they want Windows Vista back. I said I would do and use my disks of Vista OS (16 in total).

  Now, the fun is that it doesn't have the product key to its original copy of Vista so how I get it back?

  It had Vista installed on it before Linux, however based on a virus that Vista should be completely removed and Linux has been installed as an operating system that is temporary until we find Vista once again, since I'm the one with the OS disk, then we re-install it.

  So I'll be able to have my copy of Vista on two different computers?

  ALSO: Vista came with the computer when he brought it but no recovery disk (as they did with XP) has been provided.

  Hello

  1 No. you cannot use your product key on his computer and your computer: Installation is permitted with a license.

  And if yours is preinstalled (OEM license), you could not even give it Vista and consider your computer off.

  2. you can't find the product key for the operating systems pre-installed when the product key on the sticker is missing or lost; read this Information:

  The way around this is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send recovery discs to reinstall the operating system properly. They should send records for a small fee.

  While they are in contact with the Manufaxcturer of the computer also ask them if there is a way to reinstall the operating system on a recovery partition on the hard drive of your laptop, allowing them to save money.

  Either of these methods of recovery normally does not imply that you have to insert a product key as factory Setup key is automatically used to activate this process.

  See you soon.

  You can also try the command line to change the product key:

  1. Click the Start button, and then type: CMD (in the field "search programs and files" in the Start Menu)
  2. The Start Menu displays "CMD.exe."
  3. Right click on the file CMD.exe and select run as administrator.
  4. In the CMD window, type: slmgr.vbs - ipk
  5. To activate windows after changing the key, type: slmgr.vbs - ato
