need a new key for installation to install my old copy of vista on a new computer. I upgraded windows 7 which was the copy of vista on the pc
And if your copy of Vista was preinstalled on your old computer, it is classified as an OEM license is not transferable.
The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop.
You can transfer a license of Vista to retail, not an OEM license.
See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

I bought this download of Adobe a year ago, it was an upgrade to a Windows Machine. Should what number I use?
If you have purchased an upgrade you should probably the serial number of the previous version that you upgraded and that of version 13. What is the message you see when you try and it breaks down?

Yesterday, I got a new gigabyte motherboard, ripjaws ddr3 memory and a processor AMD phenom II 1090 t edition. During the installation of windows, it copies the files and reformat my old hard drive. 35 minutes from devices of the installation each time the blue screen appears and says that windows has been shut down. I also had another hard disk installed my cousin gave me and I tried formatting and installing windows on that one too and did not work. Tried to install PRO then Home edition and none worked. I tried out the video card and ram for 1 and 3 of the Bank and all switching leaving Bank 1 and nothing. Only I have the keyboard / mouse USB and video card/RAM/hard disks installed. In total, we have tried to install windows for about 2 hours and a half. . All I have to b compatible with my motherboard and I have no idea why. Someone please help!

I can't activate my OS. I use Windows Vista home premium, Service pack 2 (6.0.6002). I've been using that copy of Vista for over a year now without any problems of this kind. But now it seems that the product key - that came with the dvd when I BOUGHT it - is now invalid. I made sure that I didn't type in evil, but still the same issue. I tried to restore to a point earlier this afternoon, and once I failed tried to restore the system to a point, 2 days ago, but still not good. I thought he would have noticed in settings at that time at the time that my OS was still valid, but no.
The error began just after I had a problem during the game Flight Simulator x, and I was forced to shut down the computer because the game froze. I do not have a GPU, I use shared graphics memory and I think that I have would be overloaded or something. But when I went to start windows again, after that I selected "start windows normally", he asked me for the product key and the rest is history.
See you soon!

Yeh that did not work, BUT cause the just dissappeared. See, problems sometimes just disappear!
Here is what I tried:
Enter the product key, after that I was invited to get in - that I found on the sticker on the side of the Tower. came up with the error that is the title of this thread.
activation of vista via phone (as has been mentioned in the previous post). I couldn't find any activation ID. as I said before, there were nine empty groups, labeled as 1-9 - I had nothing to enter.
tried to restore the system to a previous date: 1stly early in the afternoon, when everything was still ok. that did not work. then I tried a date that was two days before and that no longer works. It didn't work because the actual restoration process has not successfully completed - an error has occurred, so I'm not a not actually restore at any earlier date at all.
has rang tech support and the guy was just as confused as I was at my lack of installation ID. He forced me to check a few other things, and then he forced me to restart it... then a 2nd time to make sure, as he was about to try something else.
I logged in the 2nd time and wahllaaah! Back to normal, just had to put a round back photo upward once again, because the Office was all black - like what happens when you don't have a copy authentic Vista I guess. the guy said, after I interrupted him let him not the problem only "disappeared", his answer was ' really? OK, well, Sir, if you have problems in the future, please contact us again and just to mention the case number that gave you".
Hey interesting? someone tell me why this happens?

EU the link below to download the ISO of Windows Vista. It's totally free.
The site is Digital River. It is 100% legitimate. It is recognized and supported by Microsoft.The link also teach you how to burn the iso file on a bootable install DVD.
Although it says Dell at the top of the page, it applies to both Dell or other than Dell.
Make sure that you select the correct version of bit.

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.

When activating my windows vista ultimate product, I get the response that the license key is already in use, let me know how to solve this problem?
KiranS Hello,
Judging by your post, it seems that Microsoft had technical problems when you tried to activate your copy of Vista by phone. Have you tried phoning the line Activation again?
The normal procedure is that if the activation fails through the automated system, the call is transferred to a real person. It is the only available option if you get the error 'use existing product key'.
I can only suggest that you try again the activation by phone and see what happens.
