• Reseting my PC and reinstall the PS, do I need a new license?

  As said in the title, I'll have to reinstall Windows, and as a result, I have to reinstall my costume of Production Premium as well. Now, my question is, if I get a new license for that or get more than one facility if I buy an Adobe product?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello Torge,

  In addition to the Mylenium: what means after your VICTORY reinstalled - sorry - should not be the problem reinstalling the program of the Socialist Party. If necessary, you can (re) activate your license by support.

• do I need a new license to upgrade from vista to windows 7

  under vista, I was wondering if I can upgrade to 7 using the same product key #.

  You must acquire a license upgrade to Windows 7:

  Where can I still get Windows 7?

  Version upgrade - Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Upgrade

  Version upgrade - Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade

  Version upgrade - Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade

  Family Pack: Upgrade of Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Family Pack (3 users)

  Microsoft Store:

  When important changes to your computer, for example an upgrade, it is always recommended that you back up your system before installing a new version of Windows. In your case, you can upgrade to Windows 7 depending on the edition and the architecture of Windows Vista, you have installed. If you are running a 32-bit version of Vista and upgrade to a 64-bit (Windows 7 edition) version, you'll have a pure make install, it is the opposite case.

  If you are using Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium consumer editions, you can only upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate. In addition, you can make downgrades, which means, if you are running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition now, you cannot downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. You perform logical upgrades:

  Windows Vista Home Basic > Windows 7 Home Basic, Premium or Ultimate

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium > Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate

  Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or ultimate edition

  Windows Vista Business > Windows 7 Enterprise

  Windows Vista Ultimate > Windows 7 Ultimate.

• Win7 OEM, new phones, I need new license?

  I bought this copy of windows 7 OEM: https://www.komplett.no/microsoft-windows-7-home-premium-en/631913

  After installation of this and has been used for a few years now, I decided to pass on my graphics card to the motherboard, cpu and power supply. What I have to buy a new license or is it possible to reuse it in the same case? It is the only computer that will be used, so I don't see how this can be a problem.

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  What is OEM software? :

  http://support.Microsoft.com/GP/oemsupport_1/en-GB

  Licensing FAQ:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/OEM/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/licensing_faq.aspx

  So, Yes, you will need a new license, some people have managed to reactivate the OEM System Builder License on new motherboards, but is not a guarantee.

• Updating ESX 4.0 build 208167 4.1 last. We need to get a new license for this?

  Hello, guys.

  We have a few hosts running ESX 4.0 build 208167.

  He is former generation and it has a large number of vulnerabilities.

  I can't find if we do something with our existing licenses if we upgrade to 4.1 last? ESX will work fine with the old license after that upgrade or we will need to obtain a new license of support?

  Thank you in advance.

  vSphere license keys are provided for major releases, so there shouldn't be the need of another license key.

• I just bought a new iMac and have uninstalled my old iMac cs6. Just install normal CS6 or do I need a new code. My license is for a single user

  I just bought a new iMac and have uninstalled my old iMac cs6. Just install normal CS6 or do I need a new code. My license is for a single user

  Yes, just install as you would normally using the serial number you used initially.

  You do not have to uninstall on the old machine - with your single-user license, you are allowed to have two active facilities.  So feel free to reinstall if these are the only two machine you intend to have on and you would like to have a backup installation.

• Simple rejected edition, need new license to resubmit?

  Hi users DPS.

  My Single Edition app was rejected by Apple and their requirements in order, I'll need to do a lot of re - work and then resubmit the application. Should my question - I buy a new license of simple editing to resubmit the application update? If I do not have (since it is the same application and of course he never did with the App Store etc.) are there limits to how much can be changed and have the application still considered an individual license update? Any info on this would be greatly appreciated, I would like to know some details about it before making adjustments to your time.

  Thank you very much.

  Hey Galen,

  You don't have to buy a new license of simple editing.  You can adjust as you wish until the application has been approved by Apple. After that see: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4172167#4172167#4172167

• BBserver needs new license after restart of all windows

  I use my BBserver (DOWNLOAD BBDISPLAY BBNET) on a windows 2008 r2 server. Whenever I have to reboot the box, I have to get a new license key for big brother. The box has a static IP address on my network is not a virtual machine and the system time is correct. Anyone now how to change this? My next option is to move the server to a linux machine, but that would be a pain...

  You should not do this. What exact problem do you see when you start? This error message do you receive?

  the license key that you received from the quest must be permanent.

• Do I need a new product key I going from 32 bit to 64 bit?

  I have the 32 bit windows 8 on my PC and bought a £50 product key. But I didn't know that my processor could take 64 bit OS.

  So I was wondering do I need to buy a new product key if I change the same operating system to 64 bit instead of 32-bit?
  I have both drives and I installed the 32 bit, thinking that it could have only 32 bits because it was vista 32. now I realize, there can be 64.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions

  64-bit Windows 8 comes in handy when you need to deal with at least 4 GB of RAM or more. 8 32-bit Windows can use up to 3.2 GB of RAM. Because the address space of memory is much larger for 64-bit Windows, this means that you need two times more memory than the 32-bit Windows to accomplish some of the same task, but you are able to do much more, you can have more apps open, do things like run a virus scan in the background it will affect the performance of your system. 64-bit Windows 8 is safer too, malicious code cannot easily infiltrate it, drivers are more reliable because they must be signed before it can work with 64-bit Windows 8.

  Regarding compatibility, you need device drivers 64-bit hardware devices, you may have. In addition, there is no 16-bit subsystem in Windows 8 64-bit, which means, your applications must be 32-bit only, not 16-bit Installer or programs uninstaller.

  If you need to upgrade to the 64-bit version, you will have to redo your installed 32-bit custom. You said that you ordered the backup DVD with your order, so you have 64-bit disk.

  You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit. Launch the Windows Easy Transfer utility in Windows 7 and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean installation of 64-bit Windows 8 disc so you can stored there.

  http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

  Once you have done this, just do a clean installation of 64-bit Windows 8 disc. In 64-bit Windows 8 disk, launch Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

  Install the 64-bit version:

  Boot from the DVD 64-bit of Windows 8
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 8 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  I upgraded my Mac with an SSD, which works very well, with more RAM; However, recently, it has been very slow and train, and I don't know why. RAM is not being crazy, so it must be something else.

• I've just upgraded my pc to windows 7. I tried to install my copy of vista on another pc, but I'm told that the validation key is not good. Do I need a new key?

  need a new key for installation to install my old copy of vista on a new computer. I upgraded windows 7 which was the copy of vista on the pc

  And if your copy of Vista was preinstalled on your old computer, it is classified as an OEM license is not transferable.

  The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop.

  You can transfer a license of Vista to retail, not an OEM license.

• I need a new boot disk

  What I want is a boot disk, I need to reinstall windows, I have the key to product on the side of my computer. I tried to call for help, but I am sent to dell (I don't know why because the computer was delivered to Cyber Power and I do not have the recovery disc that came with her computer because my friend lost). It's my friends computer, but it is in the marines about to be sent to Afghanistan, and he hang on to it for my own personal use until he gets back. It has been formatted, and I thought the disc was in the box, but there is no disc. I just need a new disk of vista, and I don't want to call microsoft for a second question 2 and pay an arm and a leg of a sudden phone. I have genuine Windows Vista Home Premium and you want to reinstall. So simple, and yet so much to ask for from microsoft.

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  But, as your friend received a disc, you will not have a recovery Partition

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
