Summary

If you have multiple Windows licenses and have installed but don't know which one is in use, use the following instructions to double check.

Details

Apples of: Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

User level: beginner to Expert

If you have multiple PCs in your home or business running different versions of Windows and would like to have on the same version, you can check that you do not use a product key that is already in use. For example, if you bought 3 copies of Windows 7 Professional, installed one, active, but later wanted to update another PC but can't remember which key was used, this trick can be very handy.

Click Start, type: cmd

Press enter on your keyboard

At the command prompt, type the following command:

slmgr - dli


Press enter on your keyboard

A dialogue window will appear on the screen. This will reveal the partial product key which gives an idea of the product key that is in use. Compare with product keys that you have and it will confirm copy of which is in use. When we're done, click OK and close the command prompt window.

For users of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1:


Press the Windows key + X

Click on command prompt

Alternative means to quickly launch the command prompt quickly on all versions of Windows:

Press Windows key + R

Type: CMD

Press enter on your keyboard

For Windows XP:

Here are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:

    Hi Mohammed'metwally,.

    Please answer this question to get more clarity on this issue.

    • The application or program that you use the partition of the drive?

    This problem may occur if the partition table is damaged or altered. As a result, the recovery partition does not work. I'm sorry to know that you are facing this problem.

    You will not get the unique language anywhere to download setting. You have an OEM computer that comes with the product key integrated into the BIOS. The product key of Windows 8 on new machines is now integrated in the machine. It uses the Secure Boot technology. When you perform a new installation of Windows 8, the installation program ask a product key and will be automatically get it from your system and proceed with the installation.

    As Windows 8 came pre-installed, you must contact the manufacturer of the computer with this problem for more help.

  • EliteBook 840 G3: Find the license key of Windows 10 for the new computer laptop

    My company recently purchased 2 HP Elitebook 840 of the G3 that come with Windows 10 Pro. I did a clean install with a customized image of Windows 10 Pro, but I get an error of activation. Where can I find the license key for our new computers?

    Once more, the license IS installed on the PC - that it is embedded in the motherboard UEFI firmware - but as I've said several times now, it is ONLY for the HP OEM of Win10 which was preinstalled version.

    OK, so try this utility: http://www.tenforums.com/software-apps/2577-showkey.html

    But don't be surprised if it does not work with the version of Win10 that you have installed.

    The key must be connected to your computer. If this is not the case, contact the manufacturer of the computer or the store you bought it from.

    If you bought a computer with Windows preinstalled would a certificate of authenticity (COA) sticker somewhere on your computer. It will say what version of Windows you have and will also have an alphanumeric code at 25 on it - this is your product key. If it is not on your computer look in your documents or on any case of CD/DVD that was included with the computer.
     
    If you purchased Windows 7, it should be included in the retail box.
     
    If you purchased Windows 7 online and downloaded that the key should be sent to you by e-mail.

    Call Microsoft use the manual phone Activation
    If you are currently installing Windows - page enter your product key, do not enter your key and uncheck the "Automatically activate when online" then click OK/next to complete the installation.

    Hello

    I bought a W530 with preinstalled Windows 7 and I have improved the system of Windows 8 using the discs. Now, I discovered that I do not have Windows 8, and I would go back on Windows 7. But I can not find the product key of windows 7 on the bottom of the laptop, and there is no Windows 7 recovery disk either.

    any suggesion would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    On recent ThinkPads, the sticker of the product ID key has been moved to the lower part of the unit behind the battery.

    You should contact Lenovo support directly to ask about a recovery media.

  • How to find your license key from view?

    Im trying to figure out how to find our server to view our license key. It there a way I can get it out of the server? I don't have access to our connection on the VMware site admin to check there.

    If you want to know your type of license, then go to the connect admin display page and check, if he discovers composer and local mode, then your type of license is the primer, if not, his company

    But if you are looking for numbers, then you must have VMware.

    Unfortunately, VMware view manager you does not display complete information on your license type and numbers or the same activation code.
