• Clean install of Windows Vista Edition family

  Due to a Virus, I had to perform a cold install of Windows Vista Edition family.  After completion and activation of the software, I received a message that my product is already in use.  It was a clean install on the same computer that has more than 3 years.

  Hello Steveowe,

  It's normal. To activate it, you use telephone activation. It's free in most countries. See this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  First thing to do is to check its Vista compatibility at the link above, and if not to see what patches/solutions are available from its manufacturer...

  If it is not compatible with Vista, and its manufacturer has no solution, try another product.

  If it is Vista Compatible, contact its manufacturer for support.

• Activation of Windows Vista phone number phone

  I am trying to activate Windows Vista on my brother's computer, but there is a problem when I send the Activation of Windows code. I get this error message,

  "The product key you entered will not work with this edition of Windows Vista. «You need to run the Windows Vista Setup program or enter a product key of Windows Vista Edition Home Premium»

  The hard drive failed on this portable DVD and backup he had was corrupt. I had to use another disk to configure the computer to reinstall the operating system. This drive is now half a continent away. I tried for two days to get the order slui.exe 4 at work. But instead of giving me the phone activation option requires that I enter the product key. Which then brings back me to the message above. My question is how can I access the phone activation? How can I get the phone number so I can activate this operating system? We are just south of Dallas in Texas.

  Can someone help me solve this problem?

  Thank you, Tim

  To be more precise, could I use the same disc installation and key on both computers at the same time?

  No, a key = a single computer. Each PC must have its own unique and valid product key to stay activated.

  Windows Firewall is delivered with and is part of the Vista operating system.
  You already have it and, therefore, you do not need, or you, can download another Windows Firewall.

• When activating my windows vista ultimate product, I get the response that the license key is already in use, let me know how to solve this problem?

  When activating my windows vista ultimate product, I get the response that the license key is already in use, let me know how to solve this problem?

  KiranS Hello,

  Judging by your post, it seems that Microsoft had technical problems when you tried to activate your copy of Vista by phone. Have you tried phoning the line Activation again?

  The normal procedure is that if the activation fails through the automated system, the call is transferred to a real person. It is the only available option if you get the error 'use existing product key'.

  I can only suggest that you try again the activation by phone and see what happens.
