ERROR: WRONG PRODUCT KEY!
My Windows XP upgrade does not load. Error, says incorrect product key. But it's the key that was shipped with the drive. What should I do?
Checked the product key even once, maybe a B looks like an 8 or an O as a 0, etc.

I had uninstalled my Windows 7, or more to the point, to the format that cause hard drive then I bought a copy of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and tried to install it on my new hard drive 2 TB, but it is around. But now four to five months and this disc hard seems to have failed, the installation going crazy and ends by not completely. So now I use 8 64-bit Windows, on the hard drive that's used to have my old Windows 7 32-bit, and I try to install Windows 7 32 bit on my VMware Player as a virtual PC, but for some reason any bloody, the thing won't turn on. I got my license and my old Tower, the old tower and the old series of hardware Linux now without all the graphics cards, but it is going to be really just a supermodel, a server for a game and accommodation of the tracks that can be downloaded in the game, all she needs a new motherboard cheap as the motherboard, that he completely fried. But the issue I'm having is with virtual PC, however, I use the license that came when I bought it and is not wanting to turn on, it keeps Gush a BS error, my Windows XP is activated, but my Windows 7 does not. He always tells me that "the product key you entered cannot be used to activate Windows on this computer."
How and why? I'm in my series that accompanies it, and that's exactly as it appears on the label. What I am doing wrong?

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950929/en-usIf your license of Windows 7 is an upgrade:
However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.
15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.
So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

Error message, product key incorrect when you use the key from the bottom of my computer
I've had my laptop for a long time, but it have not used for a lot more than internet stuff.

So, I'm trying to put in my product key to get full use of return, but the computer always tells me that it is a mistake. And it's not! The number is on a sticker on the bottom of my computer, and I entered it correctly several times. That I do know? Thank you.

I bought a copy of windows 8 for the upgrade to windows 7 from the Microsoft store. I need to reinstall the hard drive on this machine, but when I download the installer of windows 8 on another machine to try to create a bootable USB I get an error message when I put in the product key (which I paid for) who says: this product key cannot be used to install a copy of windows retail.
How can I get this problem?
Hello
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.
Ideally, there are two types of product keys: key to retail version key upgrade and full. The key to upgrade is used to upgrade the version of the operating system when you have the lower version of the operating system already installed on the system, for example, if you have already installed Windows 7 system, you can use the upgrade of Windows 8 to upgrade (override) currently installed Windows 7 to Windows 8. This product key cannot be used to download the installer of Windows 8 and create a bootable for installing Windows 8 from scratch.
However, the key of the full version allows to download the installer of Windows 8 and create a Windows 8 boot disk to install a full version of the operating system.
According to your description, you have reinstalled the hard drive on your machine and want to install Windows 8 by creating a bootable. Thus, you will always have the above error message while downloading executable files for Windows 8.
There are two options you can try to install Windows 8 on your system:
- Replace the key with a key to the version upgrade complete on the Microsoft Store and follow the procedure as you said in your post. You will not get the error message given.
- If you have the Windows 7 installation media, you can try to install Windows 7 on the reinstalled hard drive. After activating this operating system, you can try to upgrade to Windows 8 by using the product key that you have already purchased.
Hope this information is useful. If the problem still persists, please post back for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

I have a Sony Vaio SVE1113M1EB provided with pre-installed Windows 8. Yesterday, my laptop won't start and recovery tools did not work. Then I deleted the partitions in stock and tried to install Windows 8 on DVD. He said: "the product key entered is not one of the images available for installation windows." I wrote my product key. How to install Windows 8?
Original title: Installation of Windows 8
Hi Qadir,
The issue could be due to the supplied product key does not match the press which is used to install Windows. The product key that is provided can be a file without assistance, in a. EI. CFG file, in the PID.txt file or in the BIOS firmware. Windows OEM 8 machines ship with the product key in the firmware, and if this product key does not match the press, then you will see the above error message.
I suggest you to change the product key to the correct for the media you are trying to install. If the system has a product key in the motherboard (o. a. 3.0 [Activation OEM] provides an OEM product key in the firmware), you use an Unattend file, file (EI.cfg) edition Configuration or the product ID file (PID.txt).
You can check the link:
«Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 installation may fail with the error message: the product key entered does not match any of the images available for installation Windows.» "Enter a different product key"

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.

Error message: product key not valid during activation of FSX Acceleration Pack
Original title: problems to activate FSX Acceleration Pack
Hello
I bought 'FSX Gold edition' from a retailer which included FSX Deluxe (2 CD ROM) + FSX Acceleration Expansion Pack (1 CD ROM); the package was of course with the Microsoft seal unbroken. Inside the box of however, there was only a single activation code, saying clearly "FSX Deluxe. FSX Deluxe activated perfectly, but I'm not able to activate FSX acceleration due to the absence of key I guess. I tried to use the same key as Deluxe, but it says it is invalid.
I tried following the instructions of technical support, but they ask the number PI, that I wouldn't find anywhere in FSX Deluxe (which is already activated and good work) or FSX Acceleration (works only in mode activate later ).
We could solve this here or should I go back to the retailer?
Thank you for your attention.

Activate Windows 7
I would like to ask questions about how can activate my correct windows, I tried to activate it but he said to me (the product key you entered cannot be used to activate Windows on this computer) I don't know what I have to do?
Windows product ID: 00426-068-2964761-86079
Recently, there have been a rash of product keys for Windows 7 purchased from auction sites appear here as not authentic. They appear to be related to this HROnline HrOnline code: 0xC004C4A2. If you have purchased a key of a web site selling auctions (like eBay), please understand that the seller would have sold this product to several people key, causing the key more on the blacklist. These keys were never intended for resale; they were intended for the software development or assessment depending on the program that they were obtained through. If you have purchased one of these keys and it became not genuine with the above code, you must purchase a new license for windows 7. Try to validate by going to www.microsoft.com/geniune and follow the links provided to repair windows.
Added note. You have only a limited amount of time (45 days I think) filing a claim with the auction sites. Stay away from these keys, if you purchased a key that has turned non-genuine and are within 45 days of purchase file a claim. There are publishers of legitimate software on auction sites, but if it sounds too good to be true then don't buy it.
Things to watch for.
Recently reported several cases of blocked MSDN subscription product keys packed with legitimate research media. I can not stress enough to save your packaging, media and reception, if you buy software such as this to appeal to the Bank, you bought it and report it to www.microsoft.com/piracy.
If you purchased a product key, with or without DVD or packaging of a sale auction web site (e.g. eBay) or any other person or seller and this could be a product key MSDN Subscritpion because your key has been blocked, you can check a few things. If you have received your key with the physical product go to www.microsoft.com/howtotell and check your product. However, some counterfeit software is if convince you may not be able to identify it as such.
To check your PID the Win Key Press and have a break at the same time or open system properties in Control Panel, scroll to the activation section and look at the PID. It will look something like this: 1234567-12345-067-54321. The part that you are interested in is the section to three figures. If it matches or is in one or two digits from the examples below, you probably have a "non-destinee for resale" MSDN subscription product key
Suspect: 065, 066, 067 068 for Windows 7 Ultimate edition, 220 area for the professional and the 230, 231 area for Home Premium. There are probably others, but they should be close to those posted.
