License upgrade and the previous edition of Windows 7
Hi, this may seem like an unusual question, but I'm lost and I don't know what position of Microsoft on this.
I upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate machine. Does this mean that I can now use the Home Premium license on a virtual machine, for example? Or not the EULA defending who?
Depends on:
- If the license of Windows 7 Home Premium comes with the machine, the answer is no, you cannot transfer it to another computer or virtual machine.
- If the Windows 7 Home Premium is a full version license, but the Windows 7 Ultimate is an upgrade license, the answer is no, because Windows 7 Ultimate edition that is used as a base license eligible.
- If Windows 7 complete edition is an Express upgrade, the answer is no, because it serves as a license of qualification based the Home Premium edition.

Upgrades and the group license
Can I purchase a group license was updated to CS6 Master Suite for 7 people if each person independently has a different version of the CS5 and CS5.5 Suites?
N ° volume license upgrades require a previous volume license. And from your description, it seems that these licenses are held by individuals, not the same company / organization so it does not, in any case. Splitting a volume license is against the license agreement and service o NTHE chosen same not possible technically license type.

I received a prompt on my Ipod touch 5th generation yesterday, that there is a new update of the Messenger application. So I tried to update, however, the app is now stuck on the phase "Waiting."... "and the logo has been disabled. I still get notifications of new messages from the app, but I can't open. I tried to remove and then reinstall the application but the application did not and the app store think that I always opened it. How can I fix this or return to the previous edition that worked?
Thank you in advance!
Hello cfossum,
Looks like you have problems with a third party on your iPod touch app, since the Messages belongs to iOS and you would receive separate not quickly update.
The resources below will provide some troubleshooting steps for the problem you are having with the Messenger application.
If an application you have installed unexpectedly closes, unresponsive, or does not open
Take care.

My laptop is preinstalled with Windows 7 Home Basic. At the free launch Windows 10 I downloaded the same and after 2 months, the hard drive crashed. The repair shop trying to fix formatting, but could not revive. This is why I bought a new hard drive and repair charge shot Windows 7 Ultimate edition.
Now, I want to download 10 W but not able to do that, during installation, a problem arises and the previous operating system has been restored. When I posted the question about how to solve this problem, I was told to try the download by way of USB/ISO file.
Now my question is that
one) can I reload Windows 7 Home basic as I have the product key?
(b) I can then download Windows 10 according to the normal procedure?
I'm not tech savvy, afraid to download files in USB and then load into the laptop, so this question.
Concerning
S Subramanian
Original title: Windows 7 Home basic
You can directly download Windows 10. Windows 7 complete edition currently installed is not genuine.
When you upgraded from a previous version of Windows, what happened is that (your PC) hardware will get a digital right, a unique signature of the computer which is stored on the Microsoft Activation servers. The real Windows 7 or Windows 8 license you were using previously will be exchanged with a key to the diagnosis.
Whenever you need to reinstall Windows 10 on this machine, go just to reinstall Windows 10. It automatically reactivates.
Therefore, there is no need to know or get a product key, if you must reinstall Windows 10, you can use your Windows 7 or Windows 8 product key or use the reset function in Windows 10.

Not be able to start DW CS4 after upgrade to the final version of Windows 10
Dear Sirs.
I installed DW CS4 on Windows 10 Preview Edition and it worked fine. After the upgrade to the final version of Windows 10 I'm no more able to start DW. I guess it's a problem with licensing. I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but is not changes anything.
Thank you for your help... Michael
There are some ongoing discussions about this, one of them in W10 is...
Do a search for CMD
The icon right-click command prompt and choose Run as administrator
In prompt, type (make sure that space is there between sfc and /)
sfc/scannow
Press enter
When finished, restart the computer and try again to DW.
