Questions of OEM Windows 7 key

I have a question: if I use an OEM of Windows 7 key from a pc by the same company that makes mine (ASUS for example), it will be valid? Note that my PC doesn't have the mobo it is changed or upgraded. I ask because a friend gave me a key which it has been used on another computer (same System Builder) saying that it will improve the Windows 8 operating system, and it will no more need. I really don't want to have any nagging restriction because my copy has been hacked, upgrade in Greece, costs 100 euros.

The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  • Going to replace my hard drive, I'm unable to use my OEM of Windows Vista 32 - bit with the new drive copy?

    I plan to replace my current hard drive (which is functional, but not surprising in the first place) with a Solid State drive, which will help to my Alienware Area-51 m9750 notebook.  I find a reader fully compatible solid state, but I'm not there purchase Alienware.  I'm currently under Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit), and I still have the recovery DVD used to reinstall the operating system.  I reformatted my hard drive several times using this disc, each time that the deletion of the whole score and starting from scratch.  Every time I did it, I'm never asked to activate my copy of windows, mysteriously turned on when I boot on my new install of Windows for the first time, without even plugging the cable Ethernet first, and my house has no wireless network.

    I wonder, if/when I install a new hard drive, will have a different experience somehow in regards to Windows activation?  I'm unable to use my OEM of Windows copy at all?  Alternatively, my windows mysteriously will activate itself without ever seeing the internet as it does now?

    I love installing Windows and then do not need to activate it, and I hope I have that experience when I install my new hard drive.

    The physical hard disk (solid state or record) is not serious for the operating system that is installed on.  As long as the drive is a standard interface and does not require special drivers not work (and most don't), you should have no problem.
     
    The recovery disks you are using are set to read specific information about the motherboard and as long as there is this particular information, that it is looking she will be triggered and doesn't have to go online to activate as the retail of Windows is required to do.  The only problem with this type of activation, it's that if the motherboard fails ever it should be replaced with a similar brand and model or autonomous activation fails and the operating system is an OEM version that is related to this motherboard and cannot be enabled on a newer replacement.

  • Windows IPSEC and SSL VPN client on the same machine

    Matches (coexistence) installation of IPSEC and SSL vpn clients that are supported on the same computer, windows (XP and Win7)?

    As mentioned by Patricia and Jennifer (5 stars), you can install two clients on the same machine without any problem.

    The tricky part comes when you are trying to connect two clients at the same time, that's when you may encounter unexpected problems.

    However, if your intention is to install both clients and connect them individually and not at the same time, you'll be fine.

    If you have any other questions, please mark this question as answered and note all messages that you have found useful.

  • Cannot change PopUp LOV width and height in version 4.2.5.00.08. I change the values of 450 400 in the Popup list template values (Section of the window), but my function genList0_f07_$ _row (), retains the same settings. Is this a bug?

    Hello

    I use APEX 4.2.5.00.08 to my app.

    I have a region of reports, where I display a column set. A column is the column attribute "display as" the value 'Popup LOV (LOV based query).

    I press the button to retrieve the LOV, I get a popup of 450 x 400 pixels.

    I go to the side of the model and navigate to "Popup list of values of model", where I can see in the section 'Window' attributes 'Width' and 'Height' value 450 and 400. I edit them and save them and there is nothing going on. I'm sure that the template belongs to my selected theme.

    I saw in the HTML source code that is the called function:

    <!--


    function genList0_f07_$ _row)
    {
    w = open ("wwv_flow_utilities.gen_popup_list" +)
    « ? p_filter ="+
    "& p_name = ' + escape ('f07') +.
    ' & p_element_index = ' + escape ('0') +.
    ' & p_elem_id = ' + escape ('f07_0000').
    ' & p_form_index = ' + escape ('0') +.
    ' & p_max_elements = ' + escape ("") +.
    ' & p_escape_html = ' + escape ("") +.
    ' & p_ok_to_query = ' + escape ('YES').
    ' & p_flow_id = ' + escape ('114') +.
    ' & p_page_id = ' + escape ('100201') +.
    ' & p_session_id = ' + escape ('16021544706004').
    ' & p_eval_value = ' + escape ("") +.
    ' & p_translation = ' + escape ('NO') +.
    ' & p_lov = ' +.
    ' & p_lov_checksum = ' +.
    ' & p_item_id = ' + escape('-683997768') +.
    ' & p_column_id = ' + escape ('25022622060292812'),
    "winLov,"
    "Scrollbars = 1, resizable = 1, width =400, height =450"); "
    If (w.opener is nothing)
    w.opener = auto;
    w.Focus ();
    }
    ->

    I see that the values has not changed. I also connected and disconnected. I am inclined to believe that it is a bug of the APEX.

    The only solution I think is to replace this function, which is NOT ideal.

    Thank you

    The parameters are generated only, nothing you can do about it because it does not use the model for these properties of the couple. Other things work fine for example the names of button or title window etc. I guess that, Yes, it is a bug. It's still there in the apex 5 too, I checked. The default values of the template do not match, the value in the generated code is always 400/450. So I guess it's pretty much a wait on 5.1.

    Here's a fun hack to make it work well on your page (works in apex 5 too, because the code is always the same). Put this in the execute on loading of the page section:

    (function(){
      var _open = window.open;
      window.open = function(){
        if ( arguments[1] === "winLov" ) {
          arguments[2] = "Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=500,height=700";
        };
        return _open.apply(window, arguments);
      };
    })();
    

    Change the settings to your liking. This will replace the existing window.open call, which is what the popup lov use and replace it with our own code. It does not interfere with other things. As the name of the new window is always "winLov" for the popup lov, it is the argument that is checked.

    During the call to window.open to open a new window with the name "winLov", parameters are replaced with your own version of it. The window is called as usual, using the stored reference.

    Edit:

    Yes, do not use the trick of resizing. My hack can be a bit tedious, but it's much less invasive for the end user (see open, bam, resize. "Even gets funky on multiple monitors). Also, this thing in the popup lov template will affect each lov popup that you use in the application, which is much less interesting than my specific page code.

    Edit2:

    I did a little digging in the source code, and I don't know why it does not work. Popup lovs are actually equipped to deal with it. My guess is that the parameters are recovered only after that the lists were generated, causing the package variables global to use their default values instead of model parameters.
