I type in the product key exactly as it is on the sticker, but windows is * still * telling me the number is not valid. Help?
I have an edition win7 Home premium. I had a few problems of massive virus, so a friend offered to clean my laptop and re - install windows, but because I don't have a CD player, he did it by way of downloading a copy digital Microsoft installation, for purposes of repair and then put in the product key number. earlier today, I started getting messages that my copy of windows is not genuine, so I checked the number in the system. It was different from my style, so I thought I would just change that indicates the sticker, as they say, right? apparently not! the 5 last digits are difficult to distinguish, but not impossible. of possibilities, most of the options have not yet entered valid, so based on what I see and what I am allowed to enter, there must be this specific set of 5 numbers/letters. However, no matter how many times I have it checked through, he continues to tell me that my copy of windows is not genuine. I normally wouldn't care, but its boring freaking as * how many times it appears telling me its not genuine and I need to fix it. and now he tells me that I have to spend $ 109 to buy a new #? What is the problem with that came with my laptop? I can't afford another $ 5 handling and costs at the present time, much less $ 110 to buy a new key 25-digit freaking. I did not write the number before the re-setup that I trusted my friend what it was done... my mistake, but I am desperate difficulty. is there a way that someone can help me?
The ratio is normal - for where the system was reinstalled using retail media and the key found by a Keyfinder, rather than the COA sticker on the case.
You must change to one on the sticker - notes the following...
0xC004F050 usually means that you have misinterpreted a character - C/G/6 or B/8 or Y/V are the most common.
Please note that the following characters cannot be used - A E I L N O S U Z 1 0 - so don't bother trying unless you like noise it does :)
an O/0 is almost always a Q

I bought a few years ago a Creative Suite Design Premium and when I want to record my serial number, your services say that the number is not valid. I am surprised because I have used it before on a PC computer that no longer works. I change my computer with a Mac. You can check the number you customer service gave me, L. Fernandes: < num series kglad deleted >. I give you my phone number in Paris: < phone number deleted - kglad >. Best account. Chantal

p.s. This is a public forum. the display of your phone number is a bad idea and display your serial number will get it banned (or used by someone else and will not you).

I ordered Acrobat Pro for Mac of Tech Soup. They sent a serial number, but when trying to install I get a message that the number is not valid? How do I fix this?
Thank you. I had entered the wrong serial number at first, but with successive tests (using the correct code) I kept getting the message invalid.
I had to re-launch the installation from the beginning, and when you are prompted to enter the serial number began the installation process.

When you were in properties, try to hit the F5 key to refresh the screen. Sometimes, it works.
If you need to activate, at 1 866 530 6364, call the Microsoft Genuine Advantage service.
They can take the information over the phone and fix the problem.
Otherwise, you could try to reinstall Windows to see if it appears in the properties.

Greetings!
Create a custom DVD of Windows 7 with pre installed office 2010, applications, drivers, updates and custom in GPEdit settings.
Used Windows 7 DVD, downloaded from the Internet and installed all the software and then sysprep for oobe.
Captured by using ImageX, install.wim custom size is almost 6.7 GB.Replaced the custom with the original install.wim file and the error message:
"The product key entered don't match any available to install Windows images. Enter a different product key.
This error message appears after pressing the button "install now".On that note, I removed file ei.cfg of Windows 7 ISO, now I get that says - could not locate the image
Any suggestions would be acceptable.

It is an equivalent using a product key from a version (say OEM) on a different version (e.g. retail). If you can get a download from the MSDN site, then you can also get a matching key for her.
Please specify presents first, and then we can help you.
You can also reach your local MS Support for assistance in the present.
See you soon,.

I have 13 element to WIN and just got my MacBook so I downloaded the MAC version of 13 items and trying to allow my serial number, but the message that this serial number is not valid (I type the exact Win serial number I have my account on the Adobe website)
Since version 13 is no longer marketed, I will assume that you are since long TIME 30 days return policy
You'll have to buy version 14 for your Mac... or install a software emulation to then run your program Windows on a Mac

This product key cannot be used to install a version of windows 8
I bought a new computer dell laptop and you want to install windows 8 again. It came with Windows 8 Core with is the unique language of 64-bit
I downloaded the windows Upgrade Wizard 8.
Then I discovered my product key with keyfinder.
I ran the upgrade wizard then copied the product key and it shows the message - this product key cannot be used to install a version of windows 8
I ran windows Update and it allowed me to download the update, which means my Windows 8 is authentic then why I am not able to install windows 8.
I'll be able to install the kernel of windows 8 with Windows 8 iso pro?
Hello
Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.Windows 8 that came with your PC is OEM type license and is one you want to install the retail type license. Two licenses have different installation keys, so commercial version will not accept EM key and vice versa.In addition, Windows 8 Pro key is different from Windows 8 "Core" key. You may not use the button either. -
I bought a copy of windows 8 for the upgrade to windows 7 from the Microsoft store. I need to reinstall the hard drive on this machine, but when I download the installer of windows 8 on another machine to try to create a bootable USB I get an error message when I put in the product key (which I paid for) who says: this product key cannot be used to install a copy of windows retail.
How can I get this problem?
Hello
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.
Ideally, there are two types of product keys: key to retail version key upgrade and full. The key to upgrade is used to upgrade the version of the operating system when you have the lower version of the operating system already installed on the system, for example, if you have already installed Windows 7 system, you can use the upgrade of Windows 8 to upgrade (override) currently installed Windows 7 to Windows 8. This product key cannot be used to download the installer of Windows 8 and create a bootable for installing Windows 8 from scratch.
However, the key of the full version allows to download the installer of Windows 8 and create a Windows 8 boot disk to install a full version of the operating system.
According to your description, you have reinstalled the hard drive on your machine and want to install Windows 8 by creating a bootable. Thus, you will always have the above error message while downloading executable files for Windows 8.
There are two options you can try to install Windows 8 on your system:
- Replace the key with a key to the version upgrade complete on the Microsoft Store and follow the procedure as you said in your post. You will not get the error message given.
- If you have the Windows 7 installation media, you can try to install Windows 7 on the reinstalled hard drive. After activating this operating system, you can try to upgrade to Windows 8 by using the product key that you have already purchased.
Hope this information is useful. If the problem still persists, please post back for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

A Windows XP product key will be recognized to activate one installation of Windows 7 Professional
A Windows XP product key will be recognized to activate one installation of Windows 7 Professional
Windows 7 uses own unique product key, Windows XP product key can activate Windows XP.
You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.
There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

* Original title: Windows 7 download
Okay, so I bought recently a Windows 7 product key online. How can I go about downloading Windows 7 to replace Windows 10?
If you have purchased a product without a DVD key while the product key is wrong. Microsoft does not license providers to supply the leys product without the media.
Only the store Windows itself could ever provide free DVD product keys and they stopped to make a couple of years.
