  • How can I just get a new product key?

    How can I just get a new product key?  I'm not just software product key.  I have windows 7 Home premium, but it can only be used on a single computer.  I have a counter top and a netbook.  I spent $124,00 once and I won't spend that again.

    You buy the product again.

    > I don't want to just software product key.

    The software comes with the key when you buy. You have not a
    choice.

    > I have windows 7 Home premium, but it can only be used on a single computer.

    Right, the rule is quite clear. It is a copy (or a license) for
    each computer.

    There is nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that has been in
    effect on all versions of Windows from at least with Windows 3.1.

    Then, unless you can find a lower price somewhere or you wish to fly,
    you're out of luck.

  • How to activate Windows using my product key?

    My Toshiba Satellite laptop has recently be affected which made unusable/inaccessible hard drive. The hard drive has been replaced, and the laptop is up and running again. Now I have the trial version 30 days of Windows 7 installed. I would like to get a copy of my access key to unlock the full version of Windows 7 that I paid when I bought the laptop.

    There is no product key located anywhere on the laptop and it is not in the laptop computer zone he entered in any event. I have now learned that the product key is accessible directly from the hard drive, but given that the data on my hard drive are completely inaccessible is not an option. Can someone advise me please on how I can get a replacement from Toshiba product key.

    I am pretty frustrated that I had not given a paper copy of the product key with the laptop.

    Thank you

    Unfortunately, al this doesn t work on this path. When you buy the new notebook price includes preinstalled OS and a valid license, but for the only preloaded.

    With other words: you will not get a kind of own key that you can use with a preinstalled version of Windows. When you use the original operating system it will be activated. You can install it 1000 times and it will be activated any time.

    So if you want to use the original installation disc from Microsoft, you must buy a valid license for this. Many people think the same thing as you but unfortunately Microsoft create the rules for the use of the licenses and how it works with the activation of the OS.
