  • 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.

  • Re-install Windows 8 pro on PC, how many times before that the product key is not valid?

    Due to problems with Windows Update, and more specifically by using the 8.1 free update, I had some problems and have re-isntalled twice now on this PC.

    You install previous motherboard no re-day after the first installation.

    First install on the replacement motherboard activated via telephone due to the new material.

    2 more reinstall without a phone on the same PC.

    The general consensus is that, once you get to the installation of 5th Activation of the phone is necessary.

    How many times before that the product key is not valid?

    I only ask that the errors are related to data that is not stored on my PC.  and given that Windows 8 is nowhere near the performance and stabilty before I used the App store update I have to reinstall until it's resolved.

    Required to reactivate by phone after the 5th reinstalled only happen based on the license.

    If you make significant changes with a license pre-installed as a motherboard, then you will not be able to use the phone or Internet activation.

    Thank you

    You should try to buy a set of disks Recovrey from the manufacturer, or to create them using the software on your computer (see your manual for details). Reinstall using the rigth software to system recovery requires no product key entry.

    If for some reason you can not do the above, see if you can borrow a copy retail of WIndows of the edition of sae as your installation - install that using the default key, then try to activate by phone and speak to an operator. They have sometimes you will give a fresh touch if yours is illegible.

    PLSE Help!

    Thank you

    Angie

    There is no such thing as a "max usage limit" (other than to be in use on a single computer at a time) for a Windows XP product key.

    There is no limit to the number of times where you can reinstall and activate the same license of Windows XP on the same PC.  Is never a charge.  No more than a product key (as long as it is not an evaluation license) never expire.  If it's been more than 120 days you finally turned on this specific product key, you will probably be able to activate via the Internet without problem.  If it was less, you may need to do a five minute phone call.

    Here are the facts relating to activation:

  • How will I know if my new laptop has Windows 8 Pro

    I bought two Dell systems.  One was the M6700 I knew had top Windows 8 Pro and I installed Media Center with the Microsoft product key sent to me.  I went back to the system due to SIGNIFICANT and costly Pro Tech support.  After 26 days, they refused to fix the screen would dim every 3 minutes, saying: "if he wasn't a yellow bang in Device Manager it was not their problem.  The last day, I accidentally found a Dell program that controlled the graphic setting called color Dell Premier.  I decided to go back to the workstation even though it was a great system.  I didn't look forward to 3 years technical support useless and frustrating to a value of $350.

    A month later, I bought an Alienware technical support personnel system is so much better.  I worked with them for years and never had the problems I had with the support of Corp.

    Since it has been a month and I had just finished a factory on the M6700 system restore, I felt that I would have been able to use the product key for the Media Center.  However after working with a Microsoft Tech today for an hour. He seemed to feel that the Media Center button would not work on this system for two possible reasons. 1. what it cannot be Pro Windows 8 or 2. The key somehow was not removed from the M6700 after the factory restore.

    So before having any contact with Pro support, I would like to know how I can tell if this system or does not have Windows 8 Pro.  I don't remember if the Windows 8 Pro showed in the system information report.  Or if she could be considered under control panel - system.  I tried to run the update on the upgrade assessment and who has failed for some reason, saying: it was not available in my country.  What is the United States.  It seems that the system is configured for which English is the language.  Given that I didn't get through a full installation of Windows as if I installed the program as you would if it was Windows 7 system comes through a Microsoft Agreement which I checked and then configure the network online and I logged on.  I was not even given the opportunity to choose the name of system I need to change.

    I'm a little lost at this stage to say the least.  If Microsoft technology could not tell if it is Windows 8 Pro, do not want to assume that the OEM support would be.

    I have the disc that came with the M6700 and I it matched with the disc that came with this system.  Both drives have the same part number and both claim it's for Windows 8 Recovery Media for Windows 8 products.

    So it is a Question of two parts:

    1. How will I know if I have installed Windows 8 Pro &

    2. How can I get my product key Media Center back?

    Thank you for your support.

  • Laptop had a problem to "Solve a problem with PSIKey", solution from Windows & installed according to the instructions. How will I know that the problem is solved?

    has stopped working properly.

    An update is available that solves this problem.

    Downloaded Update site Web Protexis, Inc. and told to follow the steps in the installation wizard. The file downloaded and said he was setting up installation. Then after a few seconds, the box has disappeared and nothing else happened. How will I know if this problem has actually been resolved? My laptop has shown 6 problems with this unit from 30/07/11-08/12/11, where the unit has stopped working. Because I don't know what it is yet, I don't know really if the problem is solved or not. What should I do at this point? I have a SP2 7520-5185, running Vista Home Premium, Acer-Aspire. Thanks for any help you can give.

    Hello

    If you have installed a trial or paid a licensed version of Corel software products, you probably may notice a third unannounced software application makes its way into your computer too. The program is PSIService.exe by Protexis, which installs a Protexis V2 of Licensing Windows operating system service or Protexis licensing service.

    PSIService belongs to protect DRM (digital rights management) copy protection and license management software, which is intended to protect an application or software against piracy and illegal copying. Thus PSI service is normally installed by another program, such as Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X 2, Corel Paint Shop Pro XI (X 1), Corel Paint Shop Pro X, that uses its service to collect information of license to repatriate much like spyware, protect copy and authenticate the user who is using an authentic version of the program.

    When you tried to download and install the program, if the box that says closed the dialog box when the download is complete has been verified, it will close the dialog box.

    I suggest that you restart the computer and check if you get an error message.
