  You receive an error message after you enter the product key when you try to install Windows XP

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310637

  Note: The product key you use must be used with the correct disk version. You must use the disc that came with your license.

  For example, if you have an OEM license, then this license can be used only with a Pro XP OEM disc. OEM licenses are licenses that come with your computer, usually the product key is stuck on the side or at the top of the computer, or a laptop.

  If you have a retail license, you must have a retail XP Pro Version. Retail licenses are FPP (full packaged product) and often have the license on a yellow or orange sticker.

  If you have an enterprise license (Volume License), you must have a Corporate Version of the XP Po. These are usually only available for large networks.

  The license sticker will be a version, it is an example for an OEM version: X 11-37156

  

  Make a note of your version and find the disk corresponding to this version.

  A product key can be activated a limited number of times, if your product key has been activated before it can be reactivated as long as it is to be reinstalled on the same machine. Reactivation must be made by phone, if not, you need to change the product key.

  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.

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."

  A while ago, me and my family bought a Windows 7 Home Premium with serial number good for use for 3 computers, we used on two and I just tried to install it on the third today (after all at least a year to have the disc sitting in a closet in the meantime be used).

  I gave my other computer laptop a new install the other day to get rid of everything I would be accumulated over the years that I just didn't need, which would cause the series be reused on the same laptop twice? I don't remember it asking me for entire series or anything at the time, that it was done by the internal system to reboot.

  Any help would be appreciated,

  See you soon.
