If I replace my motherboard I have to buy Windows again or if I can use the same key?
A motherboard / licensed
All this is true!
If you have a retail version, you can change the card mother as many times as you like as long as your license is used only on any given computer one at a time.
After the fifth installation of your license, phone activation may be required.
Only OEM versions are related to the first motherboard forever, unless the manufacturer can sell you a model which replaced the abandoned.

After you have reinstalled my Window 7 Professional is not activate with the product key, I received with my package & which I used for a long time. I tried to activate using automated phone system, but could not do. What is the solution. I know that this product key I used only on my current desktop & in past I had not faced any problem on reappattage. This time, I had deleted all the parks & reformatted all readers of my Win7 teacher reappattage. This can be a cause of failure of activation?

Hello world!
I have a laptop very old but relatively powerful. The hard drive on this laptop broke about two years ago and I did not get around to fix until today. I bought a new hard drive and tried to download Windows 7 on a disk from the internet, I entered the product key located on the bottom of the laptop but I was arrested when I was told that the software is preinstalled on the previous hard disk by the manufacturer. It seems that the key I is still active on my old broken hard drive. Y at - it no word-all about this problem? or do I have to buy Windows 7 for my work laptop?
Any help would be great, thanks.
For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.
It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.
Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:
How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?
Make sure you scroll down and read the section:
What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

Can I download Windows 7 Professional for free and use the product key I have?
I was WONDERING IF SOME COULD HELP OR POINT ME IN THE RIGHT of WAY TO GET a DOWNLOAD FREE Windows 7 Professional, I ALREADY HAVE THE PREMIUM AND I WANT PROFESSIONAL GRADE
I never said that I won or purchased key I had when I had pro on my other computer when needed to get a new I sold my old so if you want to continue to help me it's cool if noit I understand
If the computer you sold is supplied with Pro pre-installed on it, it would be an OEM license and cannot be used on another computer.
If it was an upgrade of retail full version and you delete or Pro to him before you sold the other computer, you would not be able to use Pro either again on another computer.
The only way that you can reuse the activation key again is if the key is not in use on another computer and is a commercial version.
You also do not need a disk to upgrade to Home Premium to Pro either. All you have to do is upgrade from Home Premium to Pro by making an Express upgrade that only requires an activation key.

Said to implement the scratch disc so I can use the same hard drive for FCP 7 and 10 projects - something on a folder separated for 10 projects. What are the steps to do t his?
More details would be useful. You have already imported media in FCP7? Or you are just starting to work with both applications at the same time? What application you plan to use to ingest media? Don't try to use them both for ingest. You can set FCPX to use the FCP7 Capture Scratch location for your support and then let the media imported in place. You can also assign a location for media to import using FCPX and then use this location for FCP7, again leaving the media in place.
Or I totally misunderstood and you only talking about using the same drive, which is not a problem at all.

I have several programs that are not compatible with my 64 bit Windows 7 operating system. I would like to run each different software under another virtual machine of VMWare (5 packs of different software programs and 5 different virtual machines of Windows XP). These would all be installed on your laptop. I can use the same license of Windows XP for each virtual machine, or do I need a separate XP license for each (different XP in case 5 licenses)?
It is lifted directly from my EULA:
1. GRANT OF LICENSE.The manufacturer that you grant the following rights, provided thatcomply you with all terms and conditions of this EULA:1.1 installation and use. You may install, use, access,display and run one copy of the SOFTWARE onTHE COMPUTER. The SOFTWARE may not be usedby more than two 2-processor both on theCOMPUTER, unless a greater number isindicated on the certificate of authenticity.Then...This means that as long as you are running two or more instances of XP at the same TIME, you agree? Or does this mean that, after you install once, you have reached your limit?I imagine that most people (including those who are running Microsoft!) will say that the second interpretation is correct.However...If this is the case, anyone their hard drive as a backup to clone strategy would violate the EULA! -
I bought a game some time ago and now I have a new Ipad when I download the game
for my new I pad, this says that I have to buy it again. How can some tell me please
If it is an application that you had previously purchased (and, for example, it has not been removed by the developer and replaced with a new separate game, and you have not reached the country since purchasing it), then it should display in the tab in-App Store app on your iPad for redownloading purchase - if she does not appear here, then check if you have hidden it : Hide and expose purchases iTunes or iBooks on your Mac or PC - Apple support.

Can I download Vista Home Premium somewhere and use the product key I have now?
Original title: ACER GRRRRR! Can I download Vista Home Premium somewhere and use the product key I have now?
I need to reformat my laptop Acer Aspire 5520, but Acer WON'T provide me with the disks required to do... so my question is this; How can I reformat without having to buy a new drive for Windows Vista? I went to the site of the Acers and downloaded all the drivers, applications, and the bios, but I can't find anywhere on Windows. Can anyone help?
Thank you in advance for your help!Hello
It s no vista for free and legally download
with an acer you never drives with him press Alt + F10 when you see the Acer start at startup screen
who should begin the process of recovery back to factory settings
Acer has do provide you with a way to reinstall vista, either way or a recovery (Alt + F10) on your disk partition hard or using recovery discs
and read this:
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

Failed hard drive. I have to buy Windows?
I'm in a bit of a pickle. My hard drive failed this weekend, the computer is 7 years old so I understand that it probably lasted as long I don't want to get out. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to save anything before the accident, and now the operating system does not even start. So my question is when I replace my hard drive that I buy a copy of Windows? I contacted my manufacturer already and site does not show for me to order recovery disks, and there is a note that they don't serve even more my model. Thanks in advance.
Technically, you don't have to buy a copy of Windows.
You can reinstall Windows using the product key on the COA sticker attached to your computer.
There are, however, some sticking points:
- On an old computer, the COA may have worn to the point where it is unreadable. It is often the case on laptop computers if the sticker is at the bottom, rather than inside the battery compartment.
- You have to find a Windows CD/DVD installation, which is the same indicated on the COA sticker, for example, Windows edition Windows 7 Edition Home Premium; Windows 7 Professional, etc.).
And of course you should be able to install Windows, all data files and programs installed on your computer before the crash will be always lost.

Can I delete my old Firefox sync account if I have a new one that uses the same email address?
Hello
I took off all my devices a synchronization of the old account and set up a new synchronization. In this process, I used the same as before email address.
I have no use of my old account of synchronization, so the question is:
Can I remove the old account from synchronization (via https://account.services.mozilla.com/ ) and - implicitly - all associated data without affecting my new account of Firefox (and its data) somehow?Thank you!
Even if you use the same email address the two synchronize the old and the new are separated. As long as you are sure that all devices use new synchronization then the old one is no longer necessary.
Here is the main article for help on the new sync
- Synchronize your bookmarks Firefox, history, passwords, etc.
- https://wiki.Mozilla.org/identity/Firefox-accounts
- The methods used to identify you and to verify the details are quite complicated, with synchronization of the former using coupling codes, as explained in detail in these articles on cryptography in sync

And more techie information https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-auth-server/wiki/onepw-protocol
- This applies to the new sync
Why can't I synchronize my passwords?
This is a problem of security and may be overcome in a future version of Firefox or synchronization. It is one of the reasons for some users can stay on the synchronization of the former. Both versions offer slightly different regarding how and what features they will sync.
