How many times Microsoft will allow you to activate Windows

As the questions indicates how many times you can activate Windows Vista Business? I would like to know because I had to activate Windows 3 - 4 times on a course of 3 days. Is there a limit to the number of times where Microsoft will allow you to activate Windows on the same computer with the same configuration?

Thank you

Hi Victor,

The answer to your question would be both 'yes' and 'no '.

IIRC, there is a limit on the number of times your license can be activated via the Internet.

However, after the limit is reached, you can still call them for telephone activation.

(You will have to wait before the automated voice system to reach a real person tho)

  • Is there a limit to how many images Microsoft will allow me to have?

    My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium.

    I'm sorry that still is not quite logical (or I am being stupid). Even with a backup 3rd party tool, you can have as many images you can store, but always as a single computer running. Even if you did a 100 images when you do the 101st the program does not know how many of the previous 100 still exists.

  • How many times am I allowed to legally move my installation of windows?

    FIRST EXPLANATION: I have a legal copy of windows, I bought in 2009 and have owned since.  I've never paid this copy, sold or otherwise, let it leave my possession.  I've never used this copy on several systems at once.  I re-enabled it on various material different versions that I've changed parts and systems, but in these cases, the older generation has been formatted out of existence.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++

    Hey everyone - I ran into a strange situation and I can't seem to get fixed within Microsoft.

    I have a legal copy of Windows 7 Ultimate that I've owned for 7 years.  I took it from a conference of developers some time ago.  It ' an edition of signature Steve Balmer, is not that it means a lot.

    Anyway, I was happily using the OS on my system and construction tests.  As part of my job/hobby, I build and test different hardware configurations.  As you know when you change parts usually the CPU and HARD drive, but sometimes more than that, you'll have to reactivate.  I've been reactive over the years without problem, until this weekend.

    Chips out of my system and I have rebuild as a new image with my usual license.  But don't tell me the license key is blocked and cannot be unblocked... making it basically useless.  I called and they said to call sales.  I called sales and they said to call support.  I spend hours on the phone with at least 10 reps of MS, and no one could help you.

    The only suggestion I got was to buy another license, which seems ridiculous.  I own a legal copy and MS does not let me use it.

    What are my options here?

    Try the following direct activation numbers and see if you can talk with someone else:

    Direct activation number: (888) 725-1047

    1-800-936-5700

    Hi johndelury,

    I see that Seadogs game is not compatible with Windows Vista, which could be the cause of this problem. See the link below

    Method 1: uninstall files could be corrupted, re - install (it replaces the corrupted uninstall files) the game, and then try to uninstall.

    Method 2:  First, contact the manufacturer game for any program to uninstall to uninstall the game completely from the computer.

    Method 3: You can follow the steps mentioned in the article below to manually remove the game

    Thank you for your answer!

    You can install the software on two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or everyone. If you install on a third computer, you will be asked to turn off this feature on the other two computers. You can then re-enable one of the two previous computers and use Cloud Creative apps on it. You can use apps on a single computer at a time.

    Kind regards

  • How many times can you download

    Hello

    How many times can I download the creative cloud set up?

    HI Philippa,

    You can install the software on two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or everyone.

    If you install on a third computer, you will be asked to turn off this feature on the other two computers. You can then re-enable one of the two previous computers and use Cloud Creative apps on it.

    If you regularly need to use creative cloud on more than two computers, it would be better to buy an additional subscription.

    A benefit for Creative cloud above the perpetual product however is that you can install on Mac and Windows with the same subscription!

    Thank you
