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.

How do I stop using the product key in my PC, so I can use it in my laptop?
A long time ago I had installed Windows Vista (original) on my PC at home. But now I m leaving in another city and I m just using my laptop. I received a message through the Windows Activation (¨The product key you typed is already use¨) and two options: buy a new online or type a different product key. I Don t want to buy anything and I Don t have a different product key. So, how can I stop using the product key in my PC (which i Don t use it!), so I can type in my laptop? Maybe uninstall Windows in my PC could solve the problem, but I Don t want to travel back home 7 hours for this! What can I do now?
PS. : Sorry about my English, I m still learning!

Your English is very good.
You simply need to activate Windows in the laptop by phone call at a command prompt, type slui 4.
You * must * also to remove Windows from your desktop computer, but if it is to wait a few moments, it shouldn't be a problem.

(Original title: Hi I get this key product and equipment repaired already in use)
How can I fix? any suggestions please? I can't activate my windows because it says that it has already been used, the cause of this is my equipment got repaired and when he returned he disabled just, please
I tried to enter my product key for windows, and he just said "this product key has already been used on another computer" but that is the only computer where I installed my Windows 8, I tried the method by which you must contact their office by the number of the machine and you must give them 9 packed numbers and enter this told you on the phone. But I can't contact then given the number of the machine and also I tried to send the technician takes charge, but it did not help, I need help badly please. Thank you.Hi Christian,
I understand that after getting your equipment repaired, you cannot activate Windows 8.
As the ID of the product gets changed every time the internal components of the machine are modified and when you try to activate Windows it identifies it as a machine to new or different.
I suggest you contact the support phone or chat for assistance with Windows.
See the link below for the number of support:

15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.
So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

How to get windows using my oem product key
Hello
I got windows 7 preinstalled on my computer, I formatted it
I need windows disk via my oem product key please tell me how
Hello
The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.
http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery
But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 retail product key, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).
As you have licensed preinstalled OEM (Dell, HP, etc.), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they need to provide for a small fee, if it is still available.
Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.
See you soon.
