Halo 2 Windows Live invalid product key

I bought a new copy of Halo 2 for windows. The program activated properly but Windows live says I have a key invalid product no. I searched online and found a lot of people very frustrated with this issue. I am in Australia and am on Windows 7. I can't find a number to ring for help and have spent several hours trying different suggestions from online forums. MICROSOFT, I paid money for this product of yours. I really can't believe I'm having so much trouble with your own product on your own operating system. Hope to solved soon

  • Z50 - 75 - Windows for Windows 10 invalid product key?

    Hello

    I replaced the HARD drive that came with my Lenovo Z50 - 75 with a SDS and took the opportunity to also upgrade to Windows 10.

    I had read in the forum that the Windows key has been incorporated in the BIOS, so I can't needen to worry.

    I wrote it down anyway, just in case, and the first two digits are 00.

    Of course, when installing Windows asked me a few times for the product key, but he managed to jump. However, oe is configured everything, but my Windows is not saved.

    So I went into settings to enter my (old, Windows-8) product key and it is not accepted: apparently, for 10 Windows, the product key may not start with a digit "0".

    Issues related to the:

    (1) is it possible to have Windows 10 get the key from the BIOS (assuming he's there)?

    (2) can / should I enter in manually instead? If so, is there a way to avoid the problem I describe above?

    Thank you.

    Hi product keys are different for windows 10 that is why you it
    does not accept the product key, the only way is to install windows 8 after upgraded to windows 10 and after that you can do a new installation on it. It will activate it self after installation.

  • Windows 8 invalid product key

    Bought a HP Pavilion 500 which is installed with Windows 8. When it became available, upgraded the operating system to Windows 8.1 without problem.

    I used a Software Product Key finder application to recover the product key for this machine.

    Recently, when I went into Windows Update and chose the "add options to Windows 8.1", I entered the product key from the command prompt (without the dashes), and I got the message: "this key will not work." Check it out and try again, or try a different key."

    The OEM product key is restricted?

    Hi DuxChux,

    The upgrade of Windows requires purchasing an activation key. You can't use the existing key embedded in your current installation, when you use the applet of the control panel "Add features to Windows".

  • 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?

    I'm trying to reinstall my copy of Windows XP Professional OEM, without material change. Invalid product key!

    Help!

    Do not confuse letter B with the number 8, letter O with a Q

    Check the side of your PC case or at the bottom of the laptop for the
    Key OEM code. If there is a sticker with the code, it will probably not
    corresponds to what is displayed by the utilities mentioned above as OEM such as
    Dell use an internal key code when they build your PC.

    The key on the sticker code should be used with your Windows CD
    (who came if everything goes well with your PC) If you need to reinstall Windows.
