Is it possible to pass key code COST between my laptop and desktop computer?

I have Vista Ultimate retail installed on my laptop and it came with disks of 32 and 64-bit. The Office has been an ultimate upgrade of a House of high range retail and only had the 32-bit disk.  Now that I've upgraded the office, it will easily run 64 bit. The laptop could never be upgraded enough to use 64-bit. Is it possible to change so that I could run the 64-bit on the desktop? Thank you.

"I have Vista Ultimate retail installed on my laptop and it came with disks of 32 and 64-bit."

You cannot use both at the same time.

Read this:

If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license and is 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.

See you soon.

  • Is it still possible to synchronize my calendar on my mobile devices and the computer (which are mac)

    Original title: Mail without parallel

    I bought a mac and windows is installed. Is it still possible to sync my calendar on my mobile devices and computer (which are mac) my calendar Microsoft and vice versa?

    Simply connect the two to the same calendar service, which is responsible for the synchronization between all devices.  My recommendation is Outlook.com because it supports IMAP (sync mail) and Exchange Active Sync (which can synchronize mail, more address books and calendars).

    Google Apps has also supported Exchange Active Sync.  I'm not sure icloud.  Really, you're at the mercy of your email provider in this area.  But the deal on the use of Outlook.com is that you can use as the backend without changing your email account/provider. Just install Outlook.com to connect to the e-mail service you use already today, and he will take care of the rest.

  • I need to validate my key code I reinstalled my windows cause my computer was having problems

    I just built my computer and I need to know if I could use the same validation key would work on my computer and it just reinstalled, and I entered the same key that I used the first time what was valid, but now he says it is not valid on the same computer, it has been used.

    If it's a product key from retail sales which is still in use on another computer, you must first remove the license for this computer before you can use it somewhere else.

    If it is a license that is preinstalled on another computer, you can not transfer it to another computer.

    As mentioned, if it's a retail license, once it is no longer in use on another computer, you can reactivate by phone:

  • Shortcut/shortcut keys to switch between the layer and the layer mask?

    I often see this question around and it also seems that the shortcut so that it changes from time to time. The old version, I had (CS3) had the shortcut that was I think (command + ') [this is the tilde sign] to go to the layer and (command +-) to return to the mask.

    It seems, on CC, the shortcut to return to the works of mask, but it is not. No matter what work-around?

    I am new to CC of CS3 so there are many things that I'm not familiar with this day. I like a lot of workflow so far. Other things, I think I have to get used to. Thank you.

    I checked a site of hotkeys CS4 and I find that they have changed the hotkey after CS3 for:

    (command + 2) to go to layer and (command +-) to go back to the mask. So the shortcuts for it.

  • Is it possible to extract personal folders from my hard drive and transfer to an external hard drive if Windows does not start?

    Hello, I recently started my Windows XP Dell computer and it should start up normally unless it would run the ChkDsk utility. It would freeze then 68% on stage 1 and goes no further. I called the people of Dell and after trying so many solutions, including safe mode, safe mode with network and CommandPrompt, we ran the diagnosis. The hard drive and memory are fine, no errors. He concluded that it was the operating system and must be restored. However, I have important files, I need to extract from my hard drive and he recommended me an external hard drive. I bought it, but now I'm not sure how to extract my files from my drive hard if Windows can not even boot the desktop computer. Is it possible to extract these files without the use of the desktop computer?

    And you've burned the .iso image, and not as data? If Yes, then you have created a bootable CD. Put it in your optical drive and restart the computer. You may need to change the boot order in your BIOS. With some machines, you can get a temporary startup command menu by pressing a function such as F12 at startup. Other computers require that you enter setup and change the boot order in the optical drive first of all from there. When you start your computer it will be information about which key press to enter the BIOS (Setup) or give you the temporary boot order.

    After you changed the boot order to boot first from the CD and rebooted the computer, Knoppix will boot. Have your external hard drive connected to the computer before you start doing this. After Knoppix is finished booting, you will be in his office. It will be very similar to Windows. There are icons on the desktop for your internal hard drive and the external hard drive. Copy files from the internal to the external drive as you want. Review what I wrote about the use of Knoppix in my previous answer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • It is possible to create an interface between the host and the VM

    It is possible to create a virtual switch between esxi host and a virtual machine.  I know that technically I can get to the esxi host for the virtual machine in the virtual machine network and back into the host esxi during the port of the kernel.  But we wonder if it is possible to have a private network setup so that the VM guest can talk directly to the shell host secure without leaving the network?

    Yes you can - create a virtual with a vmkernel port and a port of the VM of the group as long as they are on the same segment that traffic will not leave the ESX host

  • lost the key code for my xp prof oem__

    I lost the key code for my xp pro oem is possible to recover it

    Is the problem that you reload your software and you do not have the key?  Normally, the product code is on the label on the material (the certificate of authenticity (COA)).  You have "lost", too?  If it's a laptop, it is usually on the bottom.  If yours is a desktop system, it can be on any of the five sides (but usually not the background).  It may be also on a thin brochure.

    More information can be found at: http://www.microsoft.com/howtotell/coa

    If you have actually lost the label, you should be able to contact the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) with your proof of purchase and service number and get help with this question.

  • I need to format the hard drive but don't have the windows vista disc to reinstall, but have had the key code that vista was preinstalled do I have to buy a new drive for vista

    I need to format the hard drive but don't have the windows vista disc to reinstall, but have had the key code that vista was preinstalled do I have to buy a new drive for vista

    Hello

    How to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • my wireless connection says "restricted access" no network connection. I used the same key code to get my other computer online

    my wireless connection says "restricted access" no network connection, I used the same key code to get my other computer I can have up to 5 computers online at the same time online.

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Hello

    This means that the computer cannot connect to the router.

    Try this process.

    Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

    If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

    Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

    Make sure that if there is Wireless Utility a utility vendor is not running with the native Windows wireless utility.

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Stack TCP/IP work should look like.

    Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/status-NIC.jpg

    Description is the data of the card making.

    The physical address is MAC of the card number.

    The xx must be a number between 0 and 255 (all xx even number).

    YY should be between 0 and 255

    ZZ should be between 0 and 255 (zz all the same number.)

    The date of the lease must be valid at the present time.

    * Note 1. IP that starts with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx isn't valid functional IP.

    * Note 2. There could be an IPv6 entries too. However, they are not functional for Internet or LAN traffic. They are necessary for Win 7 homegroup special configuration.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    Above everything is OK, you must be able to connect to the router.  A window that says connected does not mean that you are really connected. Connection to the router means that you can enter the IP of the router base in an address bar in one go, being able to connect and configure the router menus see. If it is not connected in the log to router from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, (make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast) is on and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    --------------------------------------------------

    I really checked and configured every thing and it doesn't work.

    Software firewall application that is not configured to allow local traffic (between the computer and the router is also a possible problem.
    some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  • I wonder if possible to re - register the cd of my laptop key in my new computer?

    Original title: Windows 7

    Hello.

    I have Windows 7, that came with my laptop when I bought it.

    Recently, I received a new computer without a win on it. I wonder if possible to re - register the cd of my laptop key in my new computer?

    As mentioned, the OEM license on the old laptop can be transferred to the new. You will need to purchase a new full version Windows 7 or Windows 10 license.

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

  • reinstalled Windows XP Pro on the new HARD disk, not invited to key code

    My Dimension 9200 needed a new HARD drive. Ordered from Dell, installed HD then re-installed Windows XP Pro sp2. I forgot to unplug the media reader, so I had to reinstall it again to get HARD drive letter assignment as C. Added drivers in good condition and just download and install sp3 and all the necessary updates. Now, all that remains is to transfer all the files from the old HD.

    Never, I was invited to the WinXP key code. I DO have the Dell OEM disc as well as the installation key code in the original Dell factory. I was wondering if anyone else had the same "problem". I checked under administrative tools and don't see anything that ask you "activation". The only thing that I went off and was invited to provide was the key code when I installed MS Office 2003. When I check in system properties, General, it shows that it is registered to me and some numbers with Dell OEM then more numbers, not the OS key code well.

    Anyone can shed some light on this? Thank you

    When you use a Dell OEM media on a Dell computer, it checks the BIOS to make sure that it is install on a Dell computer, then it will be activated automatically, using a generic OEM key.  As long as you have the sticker COST/License/Product Key, you have the right to run Windows on this computer.  That's pretty standard for OEM systems.

    System properties still shows a 'code', not the actual key.  You can use Magic Jelly Bean to retrieve the key used to activate Windows, but the key, that he will return does not match your COA and cannot be used for manual activation.
