    Sorry, but I can't understand your question.

    You have a Windows XP installation CD?

    You have your product key? If so, what type of Windows installation has been this - OEM (for example, if it is preinstalled on the computer) or retail?

    There is nothing on the CD that binds to a particular product key, but the CD that you use must match the CD in regard to OEM edition compared to the retail and upgrade vs. full,.

    If you buy a CD without a product key, it is not authentic; It is hacked, and you would look in trouble.

    And in regards to the used CDs, note that a copy retail may be moved from one computer to another, but an OEM one cannot.

  • I lost my product key, but the drive is empty, so I can't get the key to the registry. What can I do else? Thank you.

    Desktop computer, Windows XP pro.

    If you have lost your product key XP, the best option is to call Microsoft. Call on (800) 248-0655 Microsoft Licensing Fulfillment Center toll-free number from Monday to Friday from 06:00 to 15:00 Pacific time.

    Otherwise, you need to replace your Windows XP by purchasing a full commercial version. Amazon and NewEgg always sell. This is no different than needing to replace any other type of item you have lost.

    In the case of a contact of computer (HP, Dell, etc.) OEM OEM purchase recovery media. It is generally not very expensive. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Why do you think that you need the key?

    To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag (download and save to the desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 ) tool
    Once saved, run the tool.
    Click on the button continue, which will produce the report.
    To copy the report in your response, click the button copy in the tool (ignore the error at this stage), and then paste (using r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your response.

    If prefer the key for another reason, try to use Belarc Advisor - he will tell you that and much more. - www.belarc.com

    Hello

    As the title suggests my question is fairly simple. I want to withdraw the license of the laptop that primer is more, but I can't find information on how to do it.

    If the copy of Windows 8 is delivered with your computer (OEM) license is related to this that computer and you cannot install it on any other computer. If you purchased Windows 8 then just use your editing equipment and install it on another computer. When you get an error indicating that your copy is to use already activate by phone.  Here are the instructions; Windows key + R, type slui 4, choose your country, call the phone number, when you get an automated response or say nothing and wait to be connected to a "no live assistance, explain your problem in full and the tech will be able to activate your Windows 8 for you. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

    I bought a copy of the 13 items amazon.ca and when I try to activate the program, I get to where I need to enter the code but the page won't let me enter the code.

    [Moved from Community Participation]

    If the product key provided with your computer (on a sticker, for example), then you will need to contact the company who made the computer to ask for a replacement.

    If you have purchased the product in a store key (for example www.microsoftstore.com or Wal-Mart, etc) then you will need to contact the store.

    It is my mother's computer.  She is 90 and is unwilling to learn a new OS.  I want to reinstall XP on a hard disk that has 300 GB and is already installed in the E drive.  His original hard drive is 40 GB and 35 are in use.  I have the original Windows product key but not the windows CD.  the retailer who has built and sold this pc is out of business.  What is the best way to achieve this?

    You can borrow a retail XP CD from a friend of yours and activate it using your product key.

    Just make sure that if your key is for home then get XP Home etc.

  • I have a genunie product key but it does not work. How to solve the problem?

    I bought a PC refurbished which came with license Windows XP Pro renovated the Micro Center near my house. My son got the infected PC and so I decided to reinstall the operating system. I used the product key on the label of license on the PC, but it did not work. I went to Micro Center for help, but they have had the same problem and then I recommend to contact Microsoft Support. To my surprise, it is so hard to get help from Microsoft even if I have a license and use a product of Microsoft Genunie. Is this an easy problem to solve, or should I complain (or continue) Microsoft to have this problem resolved? Thanks adavance.

    My suspicion is that it's a SP3 - the description of the disc key you give seems to be right (from what little I can find that the part number on the web) for a disk of SP2.

    You may be able to confirm this by calling an Activation Center and asking them to confirm the validity of the key - use your local number in this list.
