How will I know if a product key for xp has been activated yet

Hi I recently bought a copy of windows xp pro and what he was going to install on my laptop that I'm on vista, it is an authentic copy from what I understand, but before starting the installation, I need to know if the product key has been activated yet, is it possible to tell? Thank you all

Simply call Microsoft on the toll free number: 1800-936-5700.

Give them the product key, and they will tell you if it has been used for activation aldready and if it has been blocked.

Also give them the part number of the Windows XP disk and they will tell you if what drive it is. (OEM, retail). and they can also tell you if the product key will match and work with the disk.

Do that before you start the installation, train them if the disk and product key do not match, you will be stuck.

  • How will I know that my product key is if I can't read the label

    I need to clean and reload Windows XP Home Edition on my netbook because of spyware and viruses., but I can't read the product key on the label

    because it is worn off the coast or rub off from sweat or use. Is there a way to find this key else where?

    Which might be good now that you mention it!

    Mike - contact your manufacturer!  No your netbook came with an XP installation CD authentic?

    It can also have a built recovery partition that would set your system to an out of the box condition.

    I am out of touch with the world of OEM... and would rather make you in the eye with a sharp stick that ever consider to reinstall.

    Sorry for the confusion.

  • How will I know where all the reports of users has access

    Hi gurus,

    We use the Hyperion Financial Reporting 9.3.1 & we have 80 reports & 750 users. How will I know where all the reports of users has access. Where can I find this information. I checked the SSP, it only shows the provisioing details, but not the name of the report. I also checked the Essbase.sec but no use. Where can I get the info. Kindly help me.


    Kind regards
    Kris...

    There is no tool of Hyperion to display easily groups and security filters.

    But it really depends on how you set up your security model.

    Normally, you add users into groups and assign these groups to essbase and reports (via the BEEP groups) cubes, so you can check reports have access to correct group and the users are in a good group.

    There is a security tool to export available here, hosted by Applied Olap, and underground work Olap-based:

  • The product key you entered has been blocked for use by Microsoft

    Last fall, I bought Windows 7 for my new computer. I bought it from Microsoft, so I knew it would be authentic. Last week my computer crashed and I had to reinstall Windows 7 from the CD. When I type in my product key, he said, "the product key you entered has been blocked for using Microsoft." WHY?
    I don't know what other information you might need. But here's what I can tell you. I have the 32-bit software. I don't know what else you need. It's frustrating to seriously. I don't want spend more money to buy another product key. This would make me happy.
