Invalid key product after BIOS upgrade

Why Windows needs activation when the new BIOS are installed?  I installed a new version of my BIOS today.   Later, the system said I had 3 days to activate windows.  Why?

Vista think it's a change of material and/or installed on a different machine...

See you soon.

I use Windows Vista atm. I tried to reinstall too, but nothing has changed.
    I really hope to receive some help then thanks in advance ;)

  • HP 500-210qe: errors of HP Active health after BIOS upgrade

    In October, I made a BIOS upgrade using sp73062.exe to 80.21 A.  Since then, I have acquired a series of warnings in the application log:

    1. event ID 3; COM exception running a command GET Casl EmbeddedController.AuditLog.JSON = return value from the BIOS, which indicates a value of command not valid.: one or more arguments are invalid (Exception from HRESULT: 0 x 80000003)

    2. event ID 3; Exception COM runs a command EXECUTE Casl Diags.ThermalDiagnostics = return value from the BIOS indicating that a proposed BIOS admin password violates password BIOS. policy: Exception from HRESULT: 0 x 80000028

    3. event ID 204; BatteryCheck.exe did not return result of 0.

    4 event ID 203; Not supported by the ACEF

    At least one and that 14 of the foregoing have occurred daily since the upgrade.

    I can't: a) ignore these events, or b) go back to the previous version, or c)?

    The solution is to install one version of HP Support Assistant, other than the 8.1.40.3 version (such as downloaded in sp72974.exe) which does not have State errors.  So far there are no other version available on the HP download site. For now, I uninstalled the support Assistant.

  • Dell XPS 13 stop during sleep after bios upgrade

    Recently updated my BIOS Dell XPS 13 L321X-the worm 8. Since then, whenever I close the lid and put the laptop to sleep for several hours, the processor seems to come and the backstory is very hot. When the cover is opened, the screen remains blank and no wake mode 'sleep'. The only recourse is to make a hard stop with the power button and then restart. The laptop restarts then black screen troubleshooting, or select the normal startup of windows. Since then, I tried to update all the drivers, but still no luck. He continues to run hot and won't start after placing the phone in sleep mode.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Divider ~.

    Thanks for the quick response!

    To review, my problem started when I updated the BIOS to ver. A08. Before reading your solution, I ended up flashing my BIOS downgrade - worm. A07.

    I started a series of applications and then closed the lid, let go in mode "Eve". After a long period of time, I opened the lid and the wake of the computer normally with no issue. No screen cases, no empty overheated. And not need a hard stop and restart with the power button.

    Hope that this remains the case, I will record your steps suggested in case reports of problem, but so far, it seems that BIOS upgrade vA08 was the problem and a reflash with v A07 was the solution.

  • HP Pavilion 17: keyboard problem after BIOS upgrade

    This isn't a terribly troubling problem, but I will mention it if HP is the reform of systems of thought from these forums.  I recently downloaded and applied the update of the BIOS HP with HP Support Assistant.  After, my keyboard does not work on the login screen Windows 10.

    I connect using a PIN code but can no longer enter the PIN code using the keyboard.  The figures of the 'line' number work very well, however, and as soon as I'm connected, the keyboard works normally.

    And, Yes, I have switched Num Lock

    Plug the power adapter.

    Press the power button and then press the ESC key.

    Now, press the F2 key to enter the interface of PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI.

    Select the Firmware management

    At the next screen, choose BIOS Rollback.

  • invalid key product

    I try to install my genuine copy of xp home edition on my Vm ware player but the product key for the invalid message States. Now I install this copy on my old laptop which is now abandoned so im assuming it has something to do with it. I have probably not yet pay as long as it is only used on a single computer. What can I do to fix this?

    Usually, invalid product keys is a result of "mistakes" when you enter the numbers.  Sometimes, the letter 0 may resemble that of o..

    However, if you were connected to the internet at the time wherever you tried to install xp, then perhaps given that microsoft has the OS enabled on another computer, it would be not to activate again on the new computer.

    In this case, it must be 'disabled', i.e. not installed out of the Microsoft anti piracy system...  Otherwise, you will need to purchase a second license.

  • Invalid key product (already in use)

    Hello team Microsoft,

    Moreover, my name is Tomylight and im from the Philippines. I really need your help please respond to my problem. so there it goes, I bought a new laptop (Compaq Presario) and when I bought it, they gave me my 1st full genuine copy of Windows Vista (Home Basic) with the COA, holographic image to the CD too... it was the first time that I formatted my laptop but after all the minute wait when I checked my computer information it says that I have to activate it then I did However, it is said that my product key is in USE? What is quite comfusing coz this is the first time I coded it. Help me please. I want that my Windows Vista genuine.

    Hoping for your response guys. Please help me.

    Hi Tomylight,

    The product key is used because 'you' use it. In other words it has already been activated once and the number of product key appears on the activation of Microsoft database. This isn't a problem, instead of activate over the internet, a simple call to the activation of Microsoft, line will solve the problem. See this link from my Web site for more details:http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

  • Invalid key product (you have 19 days to activate)

    I have a three pc activation code, which is now appear as invalid on the third computer. What can I do to make this work?

    Activate manually.

    To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Is my computer better after BIOS update?

    Dear Sir.
    I have the idea that my tecra M2 works better after upgrading the bios (from 1.3---> 1.5): sometimes I had the problem that wifi has not begun well, the fan was too often running: after the upgrade of these things worked much better!
    Some people have the same experience?
    Thanks in advance
    Dr. weekx reg

    Hi Reg,

    It is quite possible that you will see some 'differences' in the behavior patterns of your laptop after BIOS upgrade to a later version. Each new version of a BIOS can contain corrections or adjustments to the previous ones and values parameters and can even contain new features. Unfortunately, the new version of the BIOS can also contain changes that may negatively affect the system or make it less compatible with the old facilities and devices.

    I generally adopts the principle that the BIOS should be updated if a specific problem is currently experienced in the hope that the latest version of the BIOS can be beneficial.

    I am pleased that your update has worked well for you on this occasion.

    Best wishes
