key used

Had an old computer that is no longer in use or Assembly. Went to put my copy and paid on my laptop and it says that the key to product already in use.

Any way around this?

Hello

If the old computer came with preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the preinstalled computer for OEM license and is not transferable.

OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

Only retail OS licenses, you buy and install yourself, are allowed to transfer to another machine.

And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

If you have purchased and installed a retail Windows license on your old computer yourself and transferred to the laptop and now get this error (the key of product already in use), you will need to make a phone Activation but brace yourself for a real person to answer and then explain to them, do not use the auto prompt responses

  • Vocals and guitars/keys using multiple output

    Hello

    I intend to play a CONCERT with MainStage 3 this weekend, and I'm trying to find a way to make it work. I sing and play on the keys or on guitars. I add a few effects on channel strips in the. I know I could put just outputs of the channels output material, but this will not cause me not to hear anything.

    If question 1.
    Is it possible to send a string to two independent outputs? for example 1-2 (as my monitor) output and 3-4 for the console?

    If not, question 2
    The other way, I'd do is just send it to THE then set out ancillary differently. Then the question would be - how to send it to the pre fader? So change me the volume will not affect what I'm doing on front

    If you like my so that you got through questions, there is another question asking why my voice sounds like the choir in my ears (as if there are two entrances with a latency, when there is one) I posted it yesterday, but nobody answered yet

    Hello

    "I know I could put just outputs of the channels output material, but this will not cause me not to hear anything."

    Why you say that? Who should produce sound...

    But let´s okay focus on your question.

    Use option 2 - create a channel at concert level and name such as keyboard and output than your 1/2 material on and do as well send you want.

    To choose the post pan, fader pre or post fader, just wait click in the shipment, and the options displayed.

    Hope this has helped you.

  • USB key used in iMac unrecognized by any other device

    Hi all, I recently encountered a problem using USB keys with my iMac 2010 10.11.3 running OSx.

    My iMac will recognize UBS sticks and allow me to save documents and files for them, but when I insert into any other device (e.g. a few friend PC and Macs, professional printers to Officeworks etc.) the USB stick is not recognized and does not see the same on their system.   Then when I insert the USB in my iMac, it is recognized immediately as well as its content.

    Before that, I was able to share files and documents with family, friends and clients on USB with no problems at all.

    I tried a variety of different USB keys (old and new) and what is happening to all of them, whatever the brand, age, size, etc.   Is produced only for a few months and at first I was in denial and thought that it was my friend PC, but now I see that it is certainly a problem with my iMac.  He may have started happening around the same time that when I upgraded to IE Captain earlier this year.

    Any ideas please?

    Thank you.

    The fact that this happens with different computers suggests that the problem could be the configuration.

    Go to Applications/Utilities/Disk utility. Insert your flash key and look at the settings. It may look like this:

    Everything on this list must be verified. While you're there, see if your USB is correctly configured:

  • Can't hear any sound, volume keys use, etc.

    Using a retina 5 k 27 "iMac late 2015, 3.3 GHz Core i5 with Radeon R9 M395, El Capitan running. End of partitioned and installed Boot Camp with an iso of Windows 8.1 without any problem on OS X.

    When Windows 8.1 Boot Camp:

    • keys of volume and numeric keypad do not work on the Apple USB keyboard
    • No sound coming out of loudspeakers
    • cannot adjust the brightness with keyboard

    Used a free update for Windows 10 in Windows 8.1, hoping that would fix the drivers and compatibility. There can be no. Questions persist.

    I tried to download the drivers of the BCA separately, but will not yet in any download. The progress bar just sits there, about an inch long, and the estimated download time is approximately 10 minutes all the way up to 65 minutes and then again down, repeatedly. It lies over and over again with no progress. I let it sit for an hour doing it, and does not. When I tried to download page Apple support zip files and goes in this direction, the Windows operating system says that I can't use these drivers with this machine or something to that effect.

    Followed instructions from Apple to make the partition and all this BCA so I don't know what happened. After selecting the drive of the partition (I think it was number 5) during the installation of Windows 8.1, it seemed that it went well. But the context menu to reboot into OS X option was not found and when I boot in OS X, the hard drive icon to boot camp on my desk under Macintosh HD is the title of "Untitled" instead of Boot Camp? I don't know if this helps to indicate what could be the issue. I tried searching both within these boards and other places that Google provides and does not. Almost all of the results were the Apple laptops or no - 5 k iMacs.

    Help, please. And I would like to know if there is any other information, I can provide that would help.

    Certain categories of Installation and storage and USB/mouse/keyboard/Trackpad because it is both a bit.

    1. you use a wired connection to download the drivers from BC to help Wizard of BC?

    2. What is your current version of Windows OS - 8.1 or 10?

    3. What are the listed drivers Apple and keyboard and Interface devices?

    4 do you have yellow triangle with an exclamation point in Device Manager?

  • A key using self-powered USB causes the base station go "off-line".

    I found that by using a USB drive self-powered, as the WD My Passport, without a USB powered, hub attached to the base of the station USB port has caused the base station go "off-line". In fact, using a powered hub does not always remedy the situation, but it is more reproducible without one.

    This is true for the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule 802.11ac. The problem does not occur immediately, but it may happen over several days. The symptom is that the player is no longer lies in the Finder, or the base station appears in AirPort Utility.

    My question is if others have had the same results? ... and did you find permanent solutions?

    USB key "seems" less reliable on the airports of AC model than on previous versions.

    I tend to not use USB attached to routers because I think it's convenient mediocre and poor speeds. But I tested with previous models, and it seems ok...

    KT those a few posts here a me trial there. These are not self powered readers... who I have long recommended people avoid the use (without a powered hub)...

    Re: External backup drive down regularly

    In fact, the wire is different from what I remember... Age don't you know.

    But I did the test on an AC TC. The result has been very reliable. He did not cause the TC to close... but I lost the connection of the USB almost every day... except for a trial where I kept the USB drive mounted in the Finder... so that the USB drive wouldn't turn it down. He then worked for a few weeks... until what the noise of rotation of disk (sitting next to me) drove me crazy... as soon as he was mounted is more, he would pass the same existence as before.

    The previous model TC was barely big enough for the internal use of the power supply units. So powered car running disc was impossible.

    Provide EI (GEN 1-5) at 1. 8A and 12v was adequate, but the standard USB port is estimated at 500 my wrong to manage disks free power.

    You would certainly think AC 12v 5A power supply models would have a lot of power. Yet, power problems are a major problem still. Supply is extremely sensitive and stop easily for reasons I'm still to understand.

    Where the long threads on power issues to the AE.

    Now, I'm going to speculate... I think that SOME problems are associated with power.

    What is the USB port side in airports of AC? Is it still 500ma? Apple never seem to give easy to find info on these details.

    Do you know? I haven't measured it, but I can try timing the time it takes to charge a phone.  Assuming that it will immediately trigger.

    Then he will have problems with a self-powered drive. Even if the drive has less energy than quotes, current during starting is much higher. The restriction of the power on the USB port is managed by a self regulator recovery... Once you triggered it, you must stop the power... then reboot the machine to restore power.

    Then, I also did the test with hub powered... and like your results... It was better. Longer time between the drive disappears from the network. But it was not enough to stop it.

    There is another interesting effect using self-powered hubs... I discovered this on a computer running Mac OS lets say! The computer would not start with a powered hub connected to the front USB. Hubs self-powered cheap, showing a defect in their design. They can refer to the USB port. In this computer, it was enough to stumble on the good power circuit and prevent the supply, commissioning... As long as the computer is running, everything was fine... but if I turned off it would not start. I finally woke up I had to exit the USB every time. At one point, I made a "special" Cup USB cable 5v line so the hub can stay connected. You can probably just to isolate the 5v of contact in the USB. Regardless of the configuration of power USB in the AE or TC is as you can assume she's sensitive enough... and at any time when the 5V on USB hub exceeds the 5V in AE it could trigger.

    The symptom is that the player is no longer lies in the Finder, or the base station appears in AirPort Utility.

    Endangered of AU base station is not uncommon.

    It responds to the pings? I guess he still has lights but is he blocked? You still get internet through it?

    Try to open it manually in to THE... use of the file / configure from others and put the IP address of EI.

    Talk with me by e-mail... It is open in the profile.

  • Key used to work, but no more?

    I had some hardware issues so had to do a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium.

    I was able to activate Win 7 Home Premium with the license key on the sticker (this has more the automated phone system, no problem), and Windows says that it is authentic.

    I had already purchased an activation key for a Home Premium-> Win 7 Pro upgrade, which has worked before. I copied and pasted the key a file I had saved, but when you try to activate it returns the message "upgrade key is not valid. Please, check the key and try again. ». I checked twice, and that's okay. This is the same key that I had used twice before when do fresh installs without problem.

    Who should I contact to fix this?

    Digital River (still have the original e-mail that indicates the key).


    You copy and paste the key to your email?
    A maybe something to do with the fact that MS is selling more keys Anytime Upgrade for Win 7 (just tried)?
     
    Nothing to do with the absence of all time product upgrade, it should still work as it has just done an update about a week ago on one of the computers to test with no problems. It could be that you used the key to upgrade too many times, which could be the reason why you got the "not valid" message which requires you to use the phone activation.

  • Windows 7 product key used accidentally twice

    Hello

    When installing Windows 7 on my laptop, I accidentally used the product key and the media of Windows 7 for PC to another Member of the family. Oddly, Windows on the laptop and is successfully activated remained activated on the first PC. In any case, I now reinstalled Windows 7 on the laptop using the product key and the media that accompanies it. My question is, Microsoft, after a period of time, will disable Windows 7 on the first PC if they detect that I used the product key on another computer (even if it is only in use on the first computer again now)?

    Thanks for any help,
    Dan

    On the first PC, I used the 'Change product key' option to re - enter the original product key and activate Windows again

    On the laptop I reinstalled from the brackets provided with the laptop (no need activation).

    Should - this to say that the first PC will continue to operate without the risk of turning off now?

    Well, they use their product keys properly attributed and are activated with them - that logic dictates that you should be fine now.
     
    This does not mean that sometime in the future, you might have another issue that requires him to become disabled, but as long as all the paperwork and the numbers are a match - the worst case are a phone call to straighten.
