disc of a single facility, two computers, two product keys

My boss at work gave me one of our old desktop computers. He wiped the computer clean (reformatted it) until he gave it to me. He also gave me a product recovery CD so I could install a fresh copy of Windows on the computer. The computer has the product key on the side of her. Now he gave me another of old desktop computers, but it gives me another drive for this second computer. I have the product key for the second computer. My question is, can I LEGALLY use the first CD, he gave me on BOTH computers by using the separate product AUTHENTIC?

Yes, your product key is the license, not the physical CD. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • If I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate Home I own two product keys?

    My desktop came with Windows 7 Home edition. I later updated to Windows 7 Ultimate directly from the Windows itself (via an online purchase). So my question is, I own two product keys: one for home and one for the ultimate, or is it the same key? And if I have two, can I install Home edition on my another desktop?

    No, if you used an upgrade version, you don't have that one license,
    two. This is the result of using an upgrade rather than a full version
    version and this is the reason why a version upgrade is cheaper
    that a full version.

  • Is it possible to reuse a disc of windows 7 and buy a new product key?

    Hi all

    I want to use wi made 10 pro 64 bit on my new PC, which will build the next week if the parties appear, and I don't know if I can wait the 29.

    I have a full version of w7 (two disks for 32 and 64-bit) ultimate glc-00182 sku, but used on my old machine and I plan to give this machine for my master's degree for offline games.

    Is it possible to reuse it until I can get w10, like I've just stuck on hold or is there another solution?

    Thank you

    Hello

    To add to the advice of Shawn, Amazon.com are about the only place to buy Windows 7 online with a sort of reliability. But beware the buyer is the rule.

    http://www.Amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-7-8-software/b?ie=UTF8&node=1286119011

    There are sites online that sell only product keys.

    Do not touch the as they are for most pirated product keys or MSDN subscription product keys sold several times.

    Even if you don't need it, always buy the packaged product, DVD, product key, etc. in a sealed package.

    See you soon.

  • How can I reinstall windows after new HD, but don't have windows or recovery discs, I have valid Vista COA and the product key

    I have a laptop Acer 4720 with valid product key of Vista Home Premium OEMact and COA label, my problem is the HD is broken and I need to install the new HD and then reinstall windows, but I have not all disks (was on the recovery partition which is good), so what are my options? Can I use any family Vista Edition installation disc Premium and then activate my license key?

    Hi again,

    You use the product key on your computer case with the Installation DVD Microsoft process.

    As I advised alreasdy, recovery from other manufacturers discs are of no use for this

    The only thing is that you may need to make a phone Activation, do it this way and not use auto invite, but hold the line for a person to physically respond to your call.

    I would advise not to download an ISO of Vista on the Internet, you will find that they are pirated and malicious programs containing versions changed.

    The DVDs are not available from Microsoft.

    When I informed 'borrow' that's what I meant. a friend, acquantance workplace, etc.

    Or if you know someone with the same model of Acer and Vista operating system, you might try their recovery disks.

    See you soon.

  • I, ve lost a family Vista Edition installation disc premium, 64-bit, but still have a product key #. Where can I get a drive? Thank you

    Mobility Center is not working properly

    Hello

     

    How to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • Two foreign keys of a table in a single column

    Hi gurus

    I wonder that can we add two foreign keys of a table on a single column, I think the answer is, but what should be the reason behind this?

    Appreciate if someone there explain to me...

    Concerning

    Muzz

    Hello Muzz,

    Perhaps the example of human Chen reveals a design error.
    If a student has a 'teacher_id' "teacher" FK and FK for "emp" becaue each teacher is an EMP, I guess that the correct design would be to have only the FK of 'teacher' and to have another pointing to the 'emp' table in the 'teacher' tabe FK

    But we can imagine comical situations...
    CREATE TABLE PEOPLE (id NUMBER of KEY PRIMARY, name VARCHAR2 (20 CHAR),...);
    CREATE TABLE SCIENTIST (id people KEY PRIMARY NUMBER (id) REFERENCES, discipline VARCHAR2 (20 CHAR),...);
    CREATE TABLE POLICEMAN (id REFERENCES to KEY PRIMARY NUMBER (id), hire_date people DATE,...);

    First table = all.
    2nd: a subset of the first, with people having the profile of 'scientific '...
    3rd: a subset of the first, with people being a policeman.
    It might be people first table and in none of the 2nd and 3rd, 1st and 2nd, 1st and 3rd only or in the 3 tables.

    Then we can have a fourth table of 'something' referring to a person who must be a scientist and a police officer.

    Here is a sqlplus session illustrating; the last piece: I try inserting several lines in xxxx, only the last is accepted.

    SQL > CREATE TABLE PEOPLE (id NUMBER of the PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR2 (20 CHAR));

    My friend has purchase DVD Ultimate to windows 7. There two which is 32-bit and 64-bit. But there is only one product key. A PC is already installed with 64-bit windows with this product key. If one pc to another is eligible for the installation of 32-bit windows with the same product key? Is this possible?

    If it is not possible, then why have 2 CD?

    They are different architectures.  Use 64-bit 4 GB or more of RAM, 32 bit for 3 GB or less RAM.

  • The product key on the money side of my laptop is striped, and I can't distinguish between two numbers. Help, please.

    Hello. I would like to reinstall Windows Vista on my laptop. Previously, I formatted the HARD drive to install another OS. But now, I would like to go back to Windows. The problem is that two of the 25 numbers on the sticker of the product keys have become illegible due to wear. I know I could install Vista and try different numbers to see if I understand correctly, but there could be many combinations. And with each installation OS taking over 45 minutes, this could be a long process. Is there something I can do? I have the other 23 numbers!

    Thank you

    Hello

    All you can do now is to ask the manufacturer of the laptop to send you a set of recovery disc for your model computer reinstall the operating system to how it was when new.

    Also while you are in contact with them, if you never receviced a reinstall to purchase drive, ask them how to make the recovery discs to do the same thing, if you still have access to the recovery partition.

    And also how to access the recovery Partition.

    None of these methods of resettlement requires normally allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

    See you soon.

    If the product key provided with your computer (on a sticker, for example), then you will need to contact the company who made the computer to ask for a replacement.

    If you have purchased the product in a store key (for example www.microsoftstore.com or Wal-Mart, etc) then you will need to contact the store.
