  Hi, I am assuming that you are unable to activate your XP via internet, you can try the phone holder to turn on.

  You will be asked of the remote computer to give the support page for phone numbers.

  You will then receive a new set of numbers to activate your XP.

  If this does not work, you will be directed to a Microsoft employee. Explain your problem and if they are happy with your answer will give you an activation key.

• I reinstalled Windows 7, but the product key is not accepted. Message says that the product key is upgraded only, not for the new installation. What should I do now?

  I have re installed windows7 and product activation key is not accepted. Message says key is valid only for the upgrade. What should I do now?

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  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.

  My laptop is with pre installed Windows7 professional edition, and I have a new product key WAU (Home premium-> NEC) in hand. When I tried this product key in the Express Windows upgrade process, I received a message "product key is not valid.

  Is the installed version must be exactly the same with the WAU product key pack? I think of my installed Professional is an advanced version of Home Premium. Why not the product key be compatible?
