I bought a vista enterprise a few years ago that I installed on my laptop, now I need to re install the windows but unfortunetly I lost the original CD & also the key.
Because I lost my original Vista Business CD & key, are there opportunities to get the key from your please side?
Hello
If I understand you correctly, Vista Business has been bought and installed by yourself and not preinstalled on your laptop when you bought it.
If the above is correct and the laptop is still running you can use Key Finder programs to get the product key:
Here are two of these programs:

This should help you:

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
You can also borrow a DVD of Microsoft Vista, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed.
The product key determines which Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

See you soon.
p.s. "is it possible to get the key from your please side?
It is not Microsoft.

Hello. I have a big problem. I have Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator CS4 and Flash CS5 programs. I bought the programs a few years ago and used on my Mac with version 10.6.8. Now, I have a MacBook with the latest version 10.11. I wanted to copy the programs on my MacBook to work also on this computer. I copied the folder with the programs 'Programs' and the folder of the "Library / Application Support / Adobe" on my USB key and pulled on the MacBook in the program folder and the folder of Adobe. Then I restarted the computer. When I wanted to start a program, I got with Photoshop, Illustrator, and Flash, the error 6 error message. For Indesign: "Adobe ID missing required files please reinstall missing file / Library / Application Support / Adobe / support /... / ROMAN." TXT ".» But on my old computer I could not find a record of support for the Type in the path to the Library / Application Support / Adobe. And I don't know what I have to do because of error 6. Can someone help me please? Thank you very much.
Avoid copying files from one computer to the other. It won't work. You run out of hidden files scattered around the hard drive and interrupt the licensing mechanism.
Uninstall, run the cleanup tool.
Reinstall from scratch and enter your serial number.

Hi I bought Acrobat Pro for my pc a few years ago. now, I spent from the pc to the mac, but can't seem to reinstall Acrobat Pro. Managed to download the program, but the serial number is not recognized. Can I still use my Acrobat Pro purchased on my mac?
probably not.
you need a platform swap (Exchange a product Adobe of a different version of the language or platform) but which is only supported for the latest versions of adobe.
You can get the upgrade pricing and exchange platforms, or use an abonnemement DC acrobat and use on both platforms.
