Lol just a license, not two.

In addition, even if you had two licenses, you couldn't do that. You can
not upgraded from Vista to Windows 8. You can do a cleaning
installation.

    It is possible that you downloaded the demo of creative cloud of Lightroom. The perpetual license key will not work. Uninstall the version on the second computer, it doesn't bother your catalog, preferences and personal files.

    Download the appropriate version from the link below and install them, your license key is accepted and everything will be fine.

  • Can I use a legitimate DVD Win7 product key to activate the operating system already installed?

    I used a DVD Windows 7 Home Premium I bought from Amazon to install on 2 computers, THEN discovered the 2nd computer would not accept the product key.  I don't want to reinstall the OS and I can't seem to find a place online legitimately sell just a product key, so if I buy another DVD on Amazon, the product key that comes with it will allow the existing installation to activate, or do I have to spend a day or more to reload the operating system, drivers, programs, settings etc, just to stinking activation?

    This information is partially incorrect. OEM System Builder licenses come with a product key.

    Yes, it does not require a clean install, but because you already have Windows 7 Home Premium installed to use your retail disk, all you have to do is to change the product key, no installation required.

  • Can I transfer this to an another computer/upgrade to the retail version?

    I have a Windows 7 Home Premium, but it's a version 7600, which means just a subscription business. It was originally XP but then improved to 7, so I don't have an installation disc. I was wondering if I could transfer to another computer by using the product key, or if I somehow get a retail version.

    Hi Sam,

    You have the product key for Windows 7 upgrade?

    Because you bought a Windows 7 Upgrade only, you will be able to use it only as a copy upgrade on another computer that has an earlier version of windows like XP or Vista. Therefore, you must first delete the copy of Windows 7 from the current computer, and then install a XP or Vista on the new computer so that you can upgrade to Windows 7 using the upgrade successfully product key.

    You can get the version Full XP/Vista disk and the disk Windows 7 upgrade version of any of your friends or relatives for the installation process.

    I suggest you to see the following link on the common ways to install Windows 7.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

    Note: Before you install Windows 7 on different computers, you must uninstall Windows 7 from the existing computer. See the last section of the link above for activation problems.

    I hope this helps!

  • I can restore time capsule backup to another computer that already has a user

    Looking for help, my laptop was stolen, thankfully I have a time capsule backup. I could buy a new laptop, but I was wondering if there is anyway I can just restore my backup on the laptop of my wife, or if that's too difficult/impossible.  Currently laptop my wife not a as user, so my question is could I myself set him up as an additional user and then use my backup time capsule of my laptop now flown to restore everything on your computer? Just a question because I don't think we need 2 notebooks more, so would be nice to not have to buy one additional laptop just to get my time capsule backup. Any help much appreciated.

    The Finder, choose utilities go to menu and use the Migration Wizard to restore.

  • Satellite L300 - 13R PSLB0E - upgrade operating system, Vista, Windows 7

    Hello. At my laptop for a couple of years now using the Vista operating system. I think to do a new clean install of Windows 7 x 64.

    Is it possible on this laptop and how easy is it going to be? I'm irritable don't but am afraid that if I do the clean install, I lose my drivers etc.

    Also, is there anyway to back to the Toshiba laptop programs – recognition of faces etc etc?

    > Is it possible on this laptop and how easy is it going to be?
    It's very easy.

    If you have important data on the HARD drive, then it backs up before installing Win 7
    Win 7 L300-13R PSLB0E series drivers are available on the European driver Toshiba page.

    If don t see why not to install Win 7 it s really nice OS.

  • Portege Z930: Loss of Fn keys after upgrade to win 8 - can't turn WiFi switch

    After several months waiting for my hour I just began my Portege Z930 - 11G for Windows 8 Pro upgrade.

    To a large extent, it went to the plan except that, after execution to display the Assistant Toshiba Upgrade I lost the Fn key and about half of the keys no longer seem to work at all.

    The only key I've ever used on a routine basis is the Fn + F8 option to activate the power switch WiFi.

    So now, I can not turn on WiFi on the computer.

    It must, surely, that there be a way to do it, but I'm not. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm OK for now because I have a local cable system in the House, but once I get out on the road I will fight without WiFi.

    Before running the wizard upgrade of the Fn key grew up the key appear in the upper part of the screen and I want to surely I had turned on WiFi right here.

    The Fn key utility offers very little control of the Fn keys. It does not offer the possibility to do anything else than to disable five notifications screen for keyboard backlighting, power plan, touch pad and cursor overlay digital overlay.

    Any help gratefully received.

    Andrew

    > So now I can not turn on WiFi on the computer.
    First of all, you can enable and disable the WiFi using the function key, but you can also activate the WLan settings of Windows 8
    Key Win + C-> settings-> change PC settings-> wireless

    Now, you can use the cursor to wireless devices to enable or disable the WiFi network.

    But to get the FN button work you need to install the + Toshiba function key + Utility for win 8 and + Toshiba system driver + to win 8

  • Make sure you get all your drivers after the upgrade of your operating system

    I've seen a lot of post lately in which users try to upgrade their operating systems (Vista-> Windows 7 or Windows 7-> Windows 8).  Often the hardest part of this upgrade is to make sure that you get all of the available drivers and software in order to use the material.

    You can always download software and drivers for your laptop computer manually by visiting the HP support Web page and search for your laptop in the product number.  This document shows you how to locate the number for your product.

    However, the best way to download and install the software for your laptop is to use HP Support Assistant.  This application comes pre-installed on most computers but portable consumer is likely to be absent after a clean install or upgrade the operating system.  It will search all the drivers and other software that can use your laptop as well as updating existing drivers/software.

    I hope that you will find useful information.  Have a great day!

  • An upgrade to the Vista operating system activation

    Hey people... last week I upgraded a pc of mine of Vista Edition family basic to Vista Home Premium with a Microsoft upgrade disc. I never activated (online or by phone) and then formatted the hard drive, I had installed on my pc later tonight, after I decided that I was not updated. As I said, I never activated. The upgrade disk is still valid for use on another pc? Thank you??

    Hello

    Retail upgrade disks/licenses can be transferred to another machine

    the only thing is: an installation at a time

    Here are the basics for the OEM and retail licenses:

    If Vista is preinstalled on your computer, or you purchased an OEM/license disk, they are both classified as an OEM license and are 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

    If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
    But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

    A single license is a single Installation.

  • BlackBerry smartphones email questions after operating system upgrade (update initially failed)

    I'm on the AT & T network.  Updated my OS to 4.5.  Screen showed that all backed up, and then when he started the download, I had a system failure.  Released A card sim and retries.  Updated of the operating system, but all my apps disappeared.  All reinstalled unless the password keeper, task and blackberry email.

    The big problem is the email. (although I like a lot the other two applications!)  I can receive email from yahoo and gmail, but cannot send as it says that my phone is not configured.  When I try to go reconfigure, it ask for my pin code and said that an e-mail account is already set up for this phone.  I never use my blackberry account so I have no idea what my username and password are (the info was probably stored in the password lock).  I want to just delete the original blackberry e-mail account and reconfigure.  Help!

    If you are a user of Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES) company - ask your BES administrator to resolve this point on the server.

    Seems that there is information that your device (identified by the PIN) has already configured e-mail account on the server.
