Key export and Re - installing Windows Media Center Edition
My hp zd7269cl laptop comes with Windows Media Center Edition version 2002. Now these discs are long gone but I bought oem recovery disks but he said media center 2005. Will I have trouble validating my code the product key (on the bottom of my laptop) after a clean install on new hard drive, because they are records of 2005. Also the driver disks don't work with what is installed on my computer.
The key and the disc should work, but you may need to activate by phone. Regarding the drivers I check the web site of the support of the factory (for your make and model) and download in a folder or a flash drive and use them and not what the disk you have. Note: Install the driver chipset first, then the remiaing drivers, save the graphics driver for the end.

Hello
I had to restore my computer lately, and now it does not allow me in windows at all. She asks for the product key - I have a product key but it says it is incorrect...I don't know what software I had, it was pretty old - xp or 2003... But the phone in Microsoft people were just passing me the one to the other... Can anyone help, and probably Microsoft should have a record of all the software that I have purchased and registered...I have two product keys I can find - one is a yellow sticker on the cd case, the other is on the back of the cardboard for Microsoft works suite 2003, white label cover.Help, please... I can't back up my phone or my iPad now, or get into iTunes, and I have decades of data on the computer.MarthaI had to restore my computer lately, and now it does not allow me in windows at all.

This is a system like Dell, HP, Lenovo, gateway, etc. ?
If it's a system like that--and it came pre-installed with any operating system you restored to you and used their method to restore the system to factory settings - your support comes from them, not Microsoft.
The product key for the operating system, if any, should be (in the case of the situation I described) on a sticker on the computer itself. It would look like the flashing of modes of action here )<-- that="" is="" a="" link,="" click="" on="">-->
However, without knowing more (like the specific operating system, how you restored it, why you restored, etc)-probably not able to help much more than that.
However, I can tell you (after reading: "I have years of data on the computer") you don't probably more - not if you ended up doing a destructive restore of the computer operating system. Likely * everything * went that you took the trouble to backup to external media before "find you" your computer. Backups - always King.

Key product and MS Customer service
I have pretty well with MS. I contacted CS online yesterday and they tell me to download and install the Windows 7 Home Premium Edition online and use the product key on the bottom of my computer to activate it. (I lost my backup disk "Pre-installed" due to a stupid error).
Tried to activate the product key and it was coming by saying it was not valid. Client called service to activate by phone and got a rep "outsourced" on the line. Basically, I was told it was preinstalled, I had to use the PC manufacturer program and could not use the online version, because he was considered a "retail" version I'm a GROUND, or I have to pay Microsoft or HP for another copy of the same program I already paid for when I bought the laptop.
I've been with microsoft since it was Windows 3.1. We usually have two or three computers at a time in our House, most smart phones and tablets. I wouldn't have to buy another operating system of MS. Oui, I know it came preloaded on the phone, but hard crash and burn all the time, and most of the people I know don't actually save the program on a cd player, which I am part. It's a pet peeve of mine in any case, a disc of the operating system should come with all new computer I buy. This isn't like the manufacturer of pc and MS cannot afford to include it.
What is the point of having a key valid if microsoft will not recognize it? I'm pretty ticked about all this. Not to mention the time it took actually to download the stupid on a 3g network program.
When it's time to update those computers, won't us go with another product Microsoft again if I can't be satisfied with the level of service I receive. Linux Mint is starting to look pretty good right about now. And I've always wanted to try out a mac.
The installed key is the default key for the Home Premium edition.
You must change the key for that on your COA sticker, using the link change the product key on the system properties page and which activate.

I have 29 days to activate.I don't see any real alternative to return to the manufacturer of the system. Even if it is simply a bug in the validation system, the original owner of the product key, it is the only one who knows what can happen to her. Not having is not a certificate of Authority (COA) on the back and no drive home with one, implies that the OEM you bought at some explainng to do. Ask for a certificate of authenticity for your machine.

I had the teacher edition, but never received an email with the details of the product, etc. and the products are not installed (they ask for product key, etc)... What are you doing?
Hello
did you purchase your product of these companies like Amazon? If Yes, this isn't a serial number, only a code with which you can request a serial number from Adobe. Please take a look at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html. (Start here: How did you purchase your product?)
The next part, so I don't see at the very least, ceased to exist on my Adobe website, everything happens in the link above. I leave as an info yet, he could still fit for you. For this purpose, please click your way through your Adobe Store and find the button "get serial number". Fill in the form and after awhile, you will get the real serial number.

I received 5 Lightroom as a gift a few months ago and cannot install it because my new computer doesn't have a CD player. Instead, I downloaded the demo and hoped I could enter a product key, but was never invited. Now, the trial has ended and I still have not been invited, just denied access. What should I do to go on the record as owning this software?
Hi junenfante,
Please see the download links where you can download the installer and activate the product using the serial key.
WIN: Adobe - Lightroom: for Windows
MAC: Adobe - Lightroom: for Macintosh
Kind regards

Expression Studio product key problem on re - install
I lived all the help from microsoft and supported sites and forums (and several others) and there are questions similar but although I can work on them (all sources) what's going on I can't find an answer, and the only way I can get the support of Microsoft is to pay for it because of this problem , emailing them led it is suggessted I ask here so sorry if I am repeating something already asked but I really don't know what else to do.
I bought Studio Expression a couple of years ago for my daughter (the memory blurred here but I am sure it's the version 1 but has been upgraded via download on 2 as a special microsoft encouragement - as they do now for 3-4). It has been installed and works very well then the hard drive has not changed, re-installed and all worked fine again until a few weeks ago when problems of memory led to one perfect reformat and re-install. Studio expression re will not activate as it claims that my product key is not valid. I also can't support since it requires my product key and said "there is a problem" with him when I entered it.
Expression Studio now seems running on the 60-day trial license, I need to find a way to overcome this problem without having to hand over my credit card data to microsoft for support.
I had already decided to update its version (she uses it because his school do and they are still using version 2) but in no way can I do if the reason why I came to understand of what is correct.
My pc is custom made and as such comes with no software installed and so I buy all my separately from the software, it is not the OEM versions. I have Windows Vista 64-bit on the affected system and everything worked very well on that front.
Hi lollylou,
Because the question you posted is related to Microsoft Expression studio, it would be better suited in the Microsoft Expression forum. Please post your question in the following Microsoft Expression forum to improve assistance:

Re-install Windows; key production but no cd
My hard drive crashed without possibility of repair; I got a new but I need to re - install Windows.
I have no Windows cd. However, there are a key production on my laptop. I found some links online, but none that worked. Does anyone know if and where I can download Windows 7 Home premium?
EDIT
Perhaps I should also say that my windows was preinstalled on my laptop. So Microsoft recovery does not work.
It is likely that you can use an another DVD of Win7. In order to make it work, it must match your - home edition/pro. 32/64. Just find someone who has the drive.
The only potential problem is that you may need some driver source it install Win7 does not provide them. Update Windows with other Microsoft products will sometimes bring them also. Most of the time, the installation process itself provides that most everything you need. If you need more, find your download page of the OEM Web site for your model.

Production Premium CS6 installing on Mac and Win machines
Hello
If I understand correctly, I am allowed to install my licensed copy of Production Premium CS6 on two machines. If I'm wrong, you can stop now, lol!
I currently have my copy installed on my 15 "MBP early 2011 OS10.7.5. I am planning on making some travel long term, and I don't want this heavy machine around lugs. I'm looking at the Samsung 7 series laptop and the Microsoft Surface Pro, both running Windows 8.
Is it possible to use the same key to make an installation on a Windows machine? I ask, because when I ordered CS6 it asked if I wanted the Mac and Win versions (my copy of Lightroom 3 seems to be good for Mac and Win). Otherwise, suggestions as to how I might solve this problem?
Thanks for any help!
HI pretzels!
Mac and Windows need different key series... If you install it again the same operating system then please disable it from your machine.

I am facing a strange situation. I used Win7 on BootCamp. Last week attempted to upgrade to Win10. After the upgrade is perfect, I could not connect to the wifi or wired internet. called the Apple support, Windows supports, no one would help you. Downgraded to Win7, after decommissioning, apple wireless key board and mouse magic does not work. Called Apple support, after nearly 90 minutes of interaction with them, ZERO, no solution result. Apple support told me that an Apple engineer will call me at my appointed time. A call came, but no one answered.
So, today did a clean install of Win10 through BootCamp. All right, BUT I still can't use apple wireless key board and mouse magic. Can someone help me with this situation? Apple & Microsoft support engineers have failed to help out me. Thanks in advance.
Have you installed the Boot Camp Windows Support software?
