geographically limited microsoft software

I just bought windows 7 here in Mauritius with the intention to give it as a Christmas gift to my father who lives in France. After the purchase of the box, I noticed the label "Distribution and necessary activation must occur in the Middle East and Africa. My father will be able to install and activate the product on his PC in France?  If this is not the case, what can I do?

If the software package is marked as requiring activation in a geographic region specific, then you are only allowed to activate the software in the geographic area specified on the software package.

How does geo-blocking? Why is it necessary to have such restrictions?

Geo locking has been made available in some emerging markets due to the price difference between emerging markets and markets undergoing a maturation. The price difference must meet the specific conditions of the market and economic conditions. GEO locking prevents users to import products from emerging markets and sell it at markets undergoing a maturation.

  • I know little or nothing of WININET, but it seems that this may be the problem based on the error messages 9 out of 10 say involve this part of the Microsoft software.

    I'm not tech guru when it comes to computers.  I don't really know enough to get into trouble.  Here's my problem.

    For the last six weeks or so, I keep getting dropped offline.  AOL is my browser and I get the message "your AOL software has encountered a problem" or words to that effect.  Tech AOL were useless to solve the problem.  I checked my error messages and noticed that when I fell off line, most of them involved a WININET problem.  I know little or nothing of WININET, but it seems that this may be the problem based on the error messages 9 out of 10 say involve this part of the Microsoft software.  It's just a guess on my part, but the problem becomes very irritating to say the least.  So, if someone can you please throw some light on my problem it will be greatly appreciated?

    To see if your system or software from AOL, what happens if you connect to AOL by using another browser (like Firefox or IE)?

    Wininit is part of the operating system and usually if it was the problem you would have other problems on your computer then I suspect it's an AOL software

    I've only used a mouse Razer Orochi bluetooth mouse and it worked flawlessly. However, I went and bought a Bluetooth Rapoo h6020 headset and it worked also very pleasantly with the mouse, even at the same time to my surprise, at that time I was a happy Panda...

    But after a few days, I discovered the mouse wasn't autoconnecting and his picture was generic in the menu devices and printers...
    I never thought much of the change to the wrong microsoft bluetooth settings...

    But I also haven't had no driver for the headset of all installed more... and the compatible device HID mousedrivers thingy is annoyingly insensitive and rubberbands the mouspointer and is far from being good and I really isn't happy with cables in 2012...

    I have carefully read your message and I m confused
    You said that you got the system several times and set to factory settings.
    From my point of view that the Bluetooth must be preinstalled by the factory settings and in this case, no additional installation is required
    I m wondering if you have enabled the Bluetooth using the Fn + F12 keys?

    For the Toshiba notebooks the FN + F8 combination has enabled the WiFi and BT but X 870 Fn + F12 is the right combination

    Then, activate Bluetooth would force other BT shares finished with BT work permit

  • Is this a real site to buy microsoft software?

    .msonlineshop - it's a real site to buy microsoft software?

    Hi kumar,.

    I don't know, but it feels good.  It is said or IMPIOUS, it is the MS Store but it's NOT the Store Ms.

    More information on this link are available here: http://who.godaddy.com/whois.aspx?domain=msonlineshop.com&prog_id=GoDaddy and to be honest, it is not legitimate for me that the coordinates are not sensible.  A legitimate business would have been better and more detailed.  And they probably would not be saved in this mode.  I think that I would avoid to be on the safe side.

    The REAL Microsoft Store can be found here: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/DisplayHomePage.

    I would use the link I provide instead of the one you did.  If you want to buy articles, I suggest somewhere else that this place makes me very suspicious.  Note the lack of company information and the use of one address gmail to support the customer.  I admit it looks pretty good, but there are some details that are simply not good.  Legitimate companies just can't do things this way.

    I hope this helps.  I guess that prevention is better than cure.

    Good luck!

    PS I guess I have to run some scans malware again because I clicked on the site and even some links in there to check it out - but no alert came, so I hope I'm OK.

  • What microsoft software is locked/hidden registry entry "DbgagD" used with?

    My antivirus software informed me that I have a locked/hidden registry entry, which is not common. What microsoft software is this registry entry with that dbgagd used? I use vista 32 bit. My computer works without any problem, but I'll try to find the reason to make him not: -.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DbgagD\1

    "I ask this as I was told that its an important file or an entry of key infection may not even be reviewed or edited, when I click on '1' folder in the registry I get immediately ' an error prevents this key in the opening: the system cannot find the file specified." The registry would be corrupted? I need to know what this key is for as this is the only file which is detected in avira as requiring special attention, as its hidden without a valid reason. It is perhaps more technical that most general users are used to, but I thought I'd ask about it here, if any staff of Ms actually uses this site, and is not just for users. My antivirus software and firewalls have not detected anything other suspect outside this hidden file. I can't ignore it, and I do not want to reinstall, because it can easily happen again. Kaspersky tdsskiller with its default settings does not detect anything problematic. Detection of GMER rootkit (and microsofts own F8 at startup to repair vista) both give me a blue screen, with "lack of kxdlipoc.sys" > page in the box of nonpages "' on the errorlog for Gmer. The error with microsoft vista F8 repair is too fast to read however on the blue screen, even if I set automatic restart flaws in the vista start menu. The blue screen for F8 does not show in the newspaper.

    Hi all

    I want to download a Win 7 Pro ISO (Dutch). However, the Microsoft software recovery site gives me the following message is displayed:
