Error invalid product XP pro activation key
I made a new instal of XP Pro on a CD I bought years ago. House has moved several times since I bought so the CD case has disappeared. But when I use the product key in the file unattend.txt on the CD itself, Windows fails to activate saying that my product key is not valid. How is this good and what I can do?

Activation error: "Invalid product key".
invalid product key message
If you mean that you can not activate automatically, try to do it manually:
To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter. Enter your country and press Next. You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below. Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being. Have your handy product code because it will be asked. Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC. They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.
I hope this helps.

With 0xC004F061 error invalid product key
I reinstall tatapi Windows8 on coment activation outside like below:
The following failure accurred while tryng to product key used:
Code:
0xC004F061
Original title: invalid product key
You upgraded to Windows 8, but did not have an earlier version of Windows Installer (error 0xC004F061)
If you see error 0xC004F061 when you try to activate Windows 8, this means that you are using a product key for an upgrade of Windows 8 version and a previous version of Windows wasn't on your PC when Windows 8 was installed. To install a Windows 8 upgrade version, you must already have Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed on your PC.
If you have formatted the drive until the upgrade of Windows 8 version has been installed, you will not be able to use your upgrade product key to activate Windows 8. To activate Windows 8, you will need to install your previous version of Windows, and then reinstall Windows 8. Help with the activation process, contact technical support.

Original XP Pro activation key need
I had my house computer lock up when installing a windows update and my sister in law pulled the power cord to stop it. When I restarted I got no start menu or other items on my desk. I used Acronis as a backup, for a few years so I thought I was safe make a collection with her. Instead of check my backup file for corruption, I just started the process, and in the meantime, I've eliminated my existing operating system. I can't find my OS drive and wonder if I buy another disk XP Pro, can I get my Microsoft activation number to use the same?
Hi Weyrleader2000,
Thanks for posting. You will need your XP key to reinstall somehow. Microsoft cannot provide you with a new key if you have lost.
I hope this helps! Shawn - Support Engineer - MCP, MCDST

I use only Photoshop and Fireworks of my CS3 cd. It is not compatible with 8.1 windows. Can I download a trial of fireworks from the Adobe site and activate using my product since the original cd key? I looked for patches and nothing helped. Please help me with what I need to make prints of my paintings in oil.
I rarely use Fireworks for print, but rather to render or my perfect images. I used Fireworks for about 17 years and just uncomfortable with it. I use Photoshop as well and see the simularities. I see the writing on the wall with Fireworks going perhaps for the warmer, but still uncomfortable with it. I received my original cd from Macromedia to my son as a gift and another gift years later. I run a new art form, 'Conceptual Art' on my site and require Fireworks. Maybe its time to spend on Photoshop, I'll see. Thank you for your reply and your time. http://www.baywoodgallery.com/

Halo 2 Vista Error Message "invalid product key".
I bought Halo 2 for Vista last week. I installed, updated with the latest patch and connected with my Live account. When the program tries to download my Live profile it gave me the error "invalid product key". I contacted the seller on Amazon and told him my problem. He contacted Microsoft and verify that the product key was valid and he told me to reinstall and make sure that all software is up-to-date. I grabbed a spare hard drive and install a new copy of Vista and done all updates to Windows. Then I installed the latest drivers for video card, I installed Halo 2. I downloaded and installed the latest patch for Halo 2 and the last program of Windows Live. After all this (about 3 hours), I still get the same message. Anyone at Microsoft have a solution to this? I get the message after logging in to my live account inside Halo 2. I googled the question and it seems to be quite common, however, I have yet to see a fix. Help, please.

Windows 7 reinstall "invalid product key".
I recently started a computer fixing for someone, they got three Dell Optiplex 755 desktop computers, and I got a few pieces of each of them (hard drive, processor, ram cards). I got the computer to boot, but since it's so old and I don't know what is the file system and it is a bit slow, I tried to reinstall Windows. I have the disc to install Windows 7 Professional x 64 and went to control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Recovery\Advanced recovery methods then clicked Reinstall windows. It restarts with the disc and went to the screen configuration, but then stopped and said that you can not install Windows because it has an invalid product key. Don't know why it does, but when I got to do start back when I also got to put in it, it says that Windows needs to be reactivated because of hardware changes, so in PowerShell, I typed in [slmgr-ato]. It worked, and after a reboot the lower right corner of the Office had more "Is not a genuine copy of Windows" on this subject, so I guess it worked. Can someone help me?

' Error of invalid product ID - with the product ID invalid
I need to fix my Windows XP installation. I used a Windows XP from my subscription "ActionPack" installation disc to repair an installation on a Dell Latitude. When you fill out the repair facility, he asked me for the code (25 characters) Windows XP. I walked into one on the back of the computer on three different times but keep error "Invalid Product ID" they receive in return. Don't know what to do next. I know that the product id is correct - and I know that I have a valid CD.
