Impossible to activate the OEM Windows 7 after reappattage on the same machine after a disk crash

When I buy my Mac, I was told that I could run Win 7 on a virtual machine using the Parallels application. I bought the Parallels software and an OEM Version of Win 7 Home Premium and istall and activate it without any problem. Recently, my hard drive crashed and I need to replace the hard drive and reinstall all software including the virtual machine and Win 7. I could not reactivate the Win 7 and I could not reactivate the Win 7 on the same machine.

Their support came back with a long history to this subject and this restriction and in short to expect me to buy a version full of Windows 7 to install in Mac. Y at - it another way to activate windows because there is no phone number that I can call them and talk to them. Why OEM version is freely available and still no appropriate advice are given to the retailer t explain some limitations? Consumers like us usually bear the burden of all these issues as the purchase of a legal but copy cannot be activated and suckers feels when we were told a long string of legal things that did not communicate to us when we buy.

Thank you

Kenny

It is one of the reasons why it is not a good idea to use an OEM software in virtual machines.

You must use the activation of the operator and see if they will allow the reactivation.

activation by telephone (call of the operator)

Click the Start button

in the search box, type

SLUI 4

and press the Enter key

Follow the instructions, but when asked what service you need the ansafone phone, don't answer - it should oblige the operator to answer, who can deal with you

  • Oracle DB 11.2.0.4: Impossible to activate the table lock after having stopped it

    Hello

    I use Oracle Database 11.2.0.4.

    After reading the documentation on how to prevent unwanted table DDL statement.

    I found a way to do this in by issuing 'edit the table < table_name > disable table lock'.

    Turn it off doesn't work, however I can not re - activate.

    The error message is:

    ORA-00054: resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified or timeout expired

    I want to activate the lock, because I need to add new columns to this table.

    I was digging on several threads that have the same problem as mine. But none of them gives any acceptable solution.

    Impossible to activate the table lock after disablng it

    ALTER table enable table lock blocking

    However, a poster responds by quoting the documentation that says: (Note: I can't find what doc says)

    'Specify the TABLE LOCK ACTIVATE to activate the table locking, allowing operations on the table DDL. All currently process transactions must commit or roll before Oracle database allows table locking. »


    By the way:

    1. the table is mine and nobody knows there are (therefore, it would be just me which undoubtedly make any DML at it, and I did not).

    2. I've disabled the lock table months ago and tried to turn it back on because I want to add the new column to the table.


    It means that I have to wait for that "ALL transactions running" happening on the current scheme being validated or cancelled?

    The table itself is located on the stops and never schema of production on which transactions take place continuously.


    Is it true that Oracle expects all execute transactions? Is it known bug?

    Why would Oracle wait as all transactions which has nothing to do with the underlying table?

    Is there no workaround solution to solve this?


    Note:

    I tried to deactivate - activate the table locking on the development database (which has less transaction) and it works fine.


    Kind regards

    Your best option might be suspended from the database. If it is an application of type OTP, it must suspend in some secinds, do your DOF, then get out. Your users should not notice. I have described the mechanism here,

    Hello

    I have problem in View 4.5. When I create the new office with Windows 7 32 bit pool, pool automatic, floating, connected clone, fast prep. After the deployment of Windows 7 machines they had to customize report.

    You have KMS license in effect for your Windows 7 Machines.  If this isn't the case, that is the question.

    You have 4 options:

    Option 1: Get KMS licenses in place for Microsoft Win7. -by far the easiest.

    Option 2: Use SYSPREP instead of QuickPrep

    Option 3: Add 1 at a time and activate the link manually clones b4 customization finishes - pain in the rear. Or be creative if it's your test env.

    Option 4: Hack the key "reg" activate this supossedly a composer. Here is the info:

    HKLMsystem/CurrentControlSet/services/vmware-viewcomposer-ga/SkipLicenseActivation to '1'.

    Of course the Win7 Office will be up to the period-eval evaluation mode expires but can be useful in a temporary unit or POC.

    The foregoing is not tested I tried it in my environment but do not know if it works because I don't want to mess with my installing any further until my POC is complete.  But it seems to work.  I found no key but went ahead and created.  Seems to work.

  • 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.

    Thank you.

  • Can I run time after effects CC &amp; CC 2014 on the same machine?

    I've recently updated AfterEffects CC-AE CC 2014. I use Cinema4D lite extensively, but I am unable to use the new Cinema4Dlite R16 with AE CC 2014. My question is:

    I'd be able to run both versions of AE and Cineware on the same machine?

    And if yes, why I can't use C4Dlite in CC 2014? (C4D lite is open, but I'm unable to select one of the buttons or anything in the menus).

    I recently worked with a client who was running CS6, and I found that to make a compatible with CS6 AE CC 2014 file, I needed to export from 2014, then export again CC, hence the need to run both.

    I really appreciate help or solutions that anyone can offer to this.

  • Can I use Vista Upgrade product key on the SAME machine?

    I upgraded my Vista Home Premium to XP media Center computer, and now my computer runs very slowly.  I have 1 GB of RAM, but isn't enough for Aero?  So... what I really do is to perform a new installation to refresh my computer, but I can do after already using my key product upgrade once? (Now I have an external HARD drive to back up my data... I didn't when I upgraded).  The new facility will be used with the same upgrade DVD and product key, and it will be used on the SAME machine.  This is allowed, or vista become inactive and I lose Vista completely?

    Yes you can reinstall Windows Vista by using the Windows Vista Upgrade activation disk works perfectly. Make sure you have your 25-digit product key.

    Also, make sure that you have installed once are not dual boot.

    My advice is that you bring a new installation with Service Pack 1 disc as shown here:

    Follow the instructions for installation, as in this case:
    Please note that the guide is basis of Dell, F12 can be a different key on your machine and you need to get your site system drivers from your computer manufacturer Web but most of the others in the guide apply to all windows based computers.

    One of the things that I recommend you do so after creating the system image is to change the name of the computer to something else, so if you decide to create another backup system image, it's not too write the original. You can use this even as a method for having multiple images of different systems.
