How to move a contract (EULA) to another computer

To save a dying computer my software, I want to use a disk imaging program, but the Windows operating system will know it's on another box. The manufacturer of the imaging software disc confirms that this will be a problem. How can I get permission to spend my EULA license (and instructions for how this)? I need to a PHONE or ADDRESS e-mail to Microsoft WHO to contact specifically. Poking around the site of this great company, I was unable to find one.

Ouch! I'm completely out of luck? The XP I came preinstalled. Although no key label is affixed to the box, I found the key ID and product using an application called KeyFinder CD, if that helps. I also have another copy of XP, "Shrink Wrap", with my own label key. However, it is my understanding that if I installed XP on the new computer, and then copy the disk image, the disk image will overwrite the XP I just installed. If I copy the disc image on it first, and then install my XP "Shrink Wrap" after that, I just replace the disk image, right? Is there no way out of this catch-22? Microsoft has to be a way to solve this problem? The EULA indicates explicitly that I have the right to move from XP to another PC. But I can't find any way to contact Microsoft about how to proceed, if there is indeed a way.

The issue here is not just avoiding grief to reinstall everything. I have backups of my data and new versions of the software that I lost the CD for, or are more supported, or for which the original CD is no longer install - company bought by a 3rd party, etc.). But the available versions of these 3 products (Visual FoxPro, Protools and Vegas Video) refused to install on a XP box, I recently bought (not all at the same time, either in a case, not at all). After several days of trying with the help of their forums, personal support tech and Geek Squad (who could find nothing wrong with the new PC itself), I returned the PC to the seller. Just maybe, it was a hardware problem with this (refurbished) PC? But I'm afraid of thinking to buy yet another and passing through the same agony.

Earlier versions of the 3 products, all of which are still working happily on the old PC and they make what I need if I could simply move elsewhere. The old PC is no longer prints Burns is no longer CD, often refuses to close, sometimes loses the ability to cut and paste and sometimes Windows Media Player runs faster than the normal speed. Even if all these questions are related to the software (corrupted XP?), this PC lived 4 years of constant use and will soon die, no matter what I do...

OEM Licenses cannot be moved to a new computer.
In your situation, however there may be a workaround solution, if your XP "Shrink Wrap" is of the same one (Home or Pro) OEM edition.
If to make Imaging correctly, the system will want to reinstall anyway, as the HAL is very likely to be compatible.
You must create a disk for SP3 slipstreamed using XP "Shrink Wrap" and then use it and install his key for repair.
Work done :)
 
If the system does not need a repair installation - then use the product update tool key to change the key to "Shrink Wrap" (after the move!)

  • USB-6008 how to move an executable file to another computer.

    Hello Forums NOR!  Please bear with me as I'm new to products OR as well as this forum.  Hope I have write in good advice.  I'm an electronics technician with over 30 years of experience in a variety of hardware and software that is trying to move an executable file from an old computer to Windows XP on a new computer Win 8.

    First of all, I just moved the file .exe itself.   When it is run, it produces an error dialog box: "Unable to locate the LabVIEW run-time engine" "this executable requires a 2011 version (or compatible) LabVIEW Run - Time Engine."

    Then I ran the installation disc driver supplied with the USB-6008 module.  Now, the executable will start but it does not seem to connect with the USB-6008, because it does not have the digital I/o.

    I can run NI MAX and see the USB module as well as test the analog and the digital I/o so I know the hardware works.

    I've been surfing on the knowledge base and found references to .dll & .vi type support files, but have no idea of which ones to get and where they might be.

    This is possible without having to recompile the exe file?  I have no access to the source files.

    Thank you!

    How can I move a product registered to another computer?

    Hi Fred,.

    To transfer the license from one pc to another how to proceed is to 'Disable' the license first of the older machine.

    To accomplish this, you need to launch Acrobat, go to the 'Help' menu and select 'disable '.

    On the new machine, you can install Acrobat and then use the serial number to 'Turn on' the software and it will complete the transfer of license.

    You can refer to the KB Doc: Activation & deactivation help

    my laptop is dying, I can move my hard drive to another computer and still use vista coa?

    Hello

    It depends on the type of license you have, as to whether you can transfer it or not.

    Pre-installed Licenses OEM (HP, Acer, etc.) and the Microsoft System Builder OEM licenses are tied to the first machine that they are installed on and channels of license when this machine dies.

    OEM licenses are not transferable.

    If you have purchased your own license for sale retail of Windows and installed yourself, yes you can transfer it to another computer.

    Retail licenses are transferable.

    Just be sure that you have only installed on one machine at a time.

    A single license means one Installation.

    And if it is retail and transfer you, in all likelihood will have to reinstall the operating system, as this disc hard the 'old' aura card mother drivers installed, which will cause starting problems.

    See you soon.

    I have enabled Acrobat XI since June 2013. How can I install second copy to another computer?

    You can install it on another machine the same way that you install on the first machine.  If you need to download to do this, you should have a link available on your Adobe account online.  If you are unable to find such a link, you can always download the trial version from the Acrobat (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro.html) product page and use your serial number to activate to use fully.

    If there is another problem that prevents you from know how to install it, you need to explain what the problem is.

  • How to move a virtual machine to another store of data on the same host

    Hello

    I have a single ESX4 host with 3 data warehouses and I need to move a virtual machine to another data store, how can I do that since I don't have the ability to migrate the virtual machine when I am connected directly to the client with vSphere host and I do not have a server vCenter also?

    Thanks, Julien

    Hello

    Yes, you can use #vmkfstools-i /vmfs/volumes/datastore/VM/VM.vmdk /vmfs/volumes/datastore/VM1/VM1.vmdk

    For the record, the data store must be shared if you copy of VM and VM must be turned off. In the above command you copy VM.vmdk to VM1.vmdk and add the newly created with this existing VMDK VM.

  • How to move one Web Service to another machine.

    I was reading a book on SOA. In describing the concept of coupling low he said

    Web services, however, are "loosely coupled." A piece of software that have already
    exposed as a web service, it is relatively simple to move it to another computer. Why
    is it? It is simple Web services "non-couple" and "decouple" because these services
    Summary of the functionality of the software interface. Once software is
    available as a web service, it is available through SOAP in a variety of ways, including
    Protocols of the Internet.

    can someone explain this?

    When you have a web service that is consumed by SOAP over HTTP protocol, of course it would be to have a WSDL that are associated with. So all consumers are interested is the WSDL and the interface provided by the service. So, here in this example, for the new service what service replaced mainframe, also a long time that its end URI and the interface of the service are maintained, consumers is unclear, because the new service also provides the same functionality can be and also for sure the same interface defined as one.

  • How can I fix the problem when another computer is using the same IP address with me?

    My computer has proven to me that there is another computer using my IP address.

    He said I need to contact the administrator.
    I don't know how to do in this regard. Help, please.

    Since it's your own home network, it means you are the network administrator. Which basically means that you should have total control on who can and can not connect to internet through this network.

    Then, you should have a router somewhere in your House. This is the device that sends the wireless signal. Most likely, it will be connected to a phone jack or cable from the wall, or a modem, depending on which company you get your internet service.

    You need to find this device, the router and restart for it. Do the same on your computer. Once both have restarted, try to connect to the internet. The router must have an ID written somewhere on it. This same ID should appear in your network and sharing Center , if you click on "Connect To A Network.

    The homegroup is something a little different. A homegroup is really just a collection of your own computers, or in your home. For example, if you had a desktop and a laptop, and I wanted to share the files from one to the other, you should join them in the same homegroup. It has nothing to do with putting on the Internet, just the connection of two computers together. It of good that you set up a homegroup with a password, but won't really help you here.
