Invalid product key message

I don't understand why the product key is not valid it is printed on the ticker on the side of the cpu.  When I bought the computer Club of Sam, I was told it was already installed and that I had nothing to do.
Whenever we try to download a PDF file, that he will ask for the product key, then say I type is not valid and I will order to microsoft and look for the product key, but it comes back with an answer to a problem of connection of diagnosis. Help!

The key product for Microsoft Office Suite are you referring?
The sound in this way in particular wrote you:
I was told it was already installed and that I had nothing to do

Many computers come "pre-installed" with Microsoft Office programs. But they are the ' demo '. Good for x number of days. After that, the programs are not good more.
If you wish to continue using the same programs, you can buy the full version.

The sticker on the side of the computer is the product key for your operating system, not for Microsoft Office. This is why you received a response "invalid."

Here is the list of Suites Office Microsoft available as well as the price (click on a selection and you will see the price).

There is an alternative. OpenOffice is a free software that works more or less like Microsoft Office and they are compatible.

    invalid product key message

    If you mean that you can not activate automatically, try to do it 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.

  • Product key message invalid there a sense?

    A failure of the motherboard, I bought a refurbished with Windows XP installed system. It came with a CD of Windows XP for PC reconditioned.  My plan was to replace the old disk system (XP) with the reader in the renovated system.  I started the system with its original drive because I wanted to know just what device driver updated, I would need.  I finished installing XP but has not activated the operating system.

    After stopping and switching of the readers, when I tried to start with my old drive in the system, I get the message about activation. The activation attempt failed.  With a little research I learned that the OEM of XP version on my old drive was not transferable to another system. Always eager to keep my settings, software and data, I tried to use the XP CD provided with the renewed system to "fix" / "upgrade"the operating system on the old drive.» I thought that I will be prompted for the product key and it could use that matched with the refurbished COA label, as the CD package has loaded. I was invited for the key, but when I used the renewed COA key I received a message "invalid product key".

    This make sense or is something else wrong?

    Oh - sorry, I was under the impression that you got the operating system

    You can get in Mode safe mode with command prompt?

    If so, try this...

    At the command prompt, type this command exactly (space, caps and comma are required):

    Turn it back on.

    If you did it, your activation grace period will have been reset, giving you more time to work on the problem.

  • Halo 2 Vista Error Message "invalid product key".

    I bought Halo 2 for Vista last week. I installed, updated with the latest patch and connected with my Live account. When the program tries to download my Live profile it gave me the error "invalid product key". I contacted the seller on Amazon and told him my problem. He contacted Microsoft and verify that the product key was valid and he told me to reinstall and make sure that all software is up-to-date. I grabbed a spare hard drive and install a new copy of Vista and done all updates to Windows. Then I installed the latest drivers for video card, I installed Halo 2. I downloaded and installed the latest patch for Halo 2 and the last program of Windows Live. After all this (about 3 hours), I still get the same message. Anyone at Microsoft have a solution to this? I get the message after logging in to my live account inside Halo 2. I googled the question and it seems to be quite common, however, I have yet to see a fix. Help, please.

    I'm trying to reinstall my copy of Windows XP Professional OEM, without material change. Invalid product key!

    Help!

    Do not confuse letter B with the number 8, letter O with a Q

    Check the side of your PC case or at the bottom of the laptop for the
    Key OEM code. If there is a sticker with the code, it will probably not
    corresponds to what is displayed by the utilities mentioned above as OEM such as
    Dell use an internal key code when they build your PC.

    The key on the sticker code should be used with your Windows CD

  • Windows 7 reinstall "invalid product key".

    I recently started a computer fixing for someone, they got three Dell Optiplex 755 desktop computers, and I got a few pieces of each of them (hard drive, processor, ram cards). I got the computer to boot, but since it's so old and I don't know what is the file system and it is a bit slow, I tried to reinstall Windows. I have the disc to install Windows 7 Professional x 64 and went to control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Recovery\Advanced recovery methods then clicked Reinstall windows. It restarts with the disc and went to the screen configuration, but then stopped and said that you can not install Windows because it has an invalid product key. Don't know why it does, but when I got to do start back when I also got to put in it, it says that Windows needs to be reactivated because of hardware changes, so in PowerShell, I typed in [slmgr-ato]. It worked, and after a reboot the lower right corner of the Office had more "Is not a genuine copy of Windows" on this subject, so I guess it worked. Can someone help me?
